---+ Minus Minus Minus Plus - Page Title Usually you should have one, and only one, page title. START HIDDEN TEXT: <!-- <pre> Does this work as a multi-line comment? Yes it does. It does. It really does. </pre> --> END HIDDEN TEXT START HIDDEN TEXT: <pre> <!-- Does this work as a multi-line comment? More lines More lines --> </pre> END HIDDEN START HTML: <!-- <pre> --> This is HTML which should be able to include multi-line tags. <a href="http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca" > CS home page </a> <!-- </pre> --> END HTML Text can be entered as paragraphs. Newlines allowed. A double newline ends the paragraph. Welcome to the a page in <b>%WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB%</b>. Links like http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~arpepper get hyper-linked automatically. Confidential material should go in the CFPrivate.WebHome web (but keep in mind that no webserver can be guaranteed to be invulnerable to security issues). ---++ Minus Minus Minus Plus Plus - Section Use that for a section header. Checkout the Mozilla/Firefox Extension that allows you to configure your favourite editor to edit text boxes. See MozillaMozex %TABLE{tableborder="0" cellpadding="10" databg="#EDDBCB" }% |Definition: In a more general context the term _account_ would tend \ imply the reckoning of a monetary balance, often with a history of credits \ and debits. \ In relation to computers, however _account_ is often used to \ refer to the login userid which works for some particular computer system \ whether or not any money is involved.\ To make things complicated, some software involved with login userid \ maintenance \ actually does allow for the use of related monetary _accounts_.\ | ---++ Variables % introduces variables. Variables can apparently be escaped by either !%<nop>TOPIC%, as advertized, or %<nop>TOPIC% which seems to be necessary, at least sometimes, if multiple variables occur in a single word. ---+++ Useful and Not-so Useful Variables See also certain [[AdrianPepperTemplateVariables][other variables]] I discovered mostly by means other than reading the documentation. Although there's a deceptively shorter list somewhere else, much but not all of what I dicovered there, is at TWiki.TWikiVariables. See also TWiki.TWikiDocGraphics. * !%TWIKIWEB% expands into the current twiki, currently %TWIKIWEB%. * !%WEB% expands into the current web, currently %WEB%. * !%TOPIC% expands into the current topic title, currently %TOPIC%; you can add relative subtopics that way, e.g. !%TOPIC%Example, %TOPIC%Example * !%ATTACHURL% : attachment URL of the current topic. E.g. !%ATTACHURL%/image.gif to show %ATTACHURL%/image.gif. * !%SEARCH{"sushi"}% : include a search result(!) * !%URLPARAM% E.g. !%URLPARAM{"example"}% to show ?example=value of %URLPARAM{"example"}% * !%INCLUDE{"SomeTopic"}% : include another topic. E.g. !%INCLUDE{"%TOPIC%Example"}% %INCLUDE{"%TOPIC%Example"}% * For even more horrendous include examples, see %TOPIC%DoInclude ---+++ Table of Contents !%TOC% can be used to generate a table-of-contents, as in... %TOC% ---++ Starting points for topics included within this web * CscfSpecific: CSCF-specific content (should not exists, that is, all content should be in this page) ---+++ Abuse and Security Incident Response (link to CFPrivate) * [[Security]] ---+++ Accounts/Authentication Management * [[CF.Accounts]] - link by ![[]] * Xhier accounts - no link * Xhier accounts - no link * TwoFactor - link by twikiword * CSCFActiveDirectory - link by twikiword * Open Directory - no link * LDAP - no link * InstallingNonXhierPerlModules - deep? Not necessarily ---+++ More Complex Links * [[InventoryUserDocs][Inventory System]] - renamed link * See: [[CF.WebHome#Management_and_Administration][Management and Administration]] - Complexish Link, renamed * [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/general/]["general" region]] specifics * [[#Documentation][Documentation]] - Intra-page link ---+++ Bug reporting and Processing * [[RT]]: Using our RT (Request Tracker) * GripeHandling ---+++ Communication * [[SharingCriticalInformation][Sharing Critical Information]] * [[CSCF_Newsgroups][Newsgroups]] ---+++ Computing Environments * [[HPC]] * [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/general/]["general" region]] specifics * [[EnvironmentComputingStudent]["student" region]] specifics * [[https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/viewauth/CsOps/WebHome][Undergraduate Operations]] * cluster configurations * research labs (link to new "Cf-ResearchLab" wiki for lab admins to edit) * TroubleShootingLabMacs - problems and solutions ---+++ Documentation * DocumentationStandards - suggested guidelines for documentation within CSCF * [[EDocs][EDocs]] - CSCF Internal electronic document storage ---+++ Email Setup * [[Email]] ---+++ File Services * [[NetApp]] * [[ZFS]] ---+++ Management and Administration * [[DepartingEmployees][Notes for departing CSCF employees]] * [[NewCscfEmployeeGuide][Notes for new CSCF employees]] * [[WorkTracking][Work Tracking]] * [[WorkFlowTimeManagement][Workflow Time Management - How to balance time across competing work]] * [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/internal/what/jobs][Job Information]] * [[VacationTime][Vacation Time]] * [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/internal/what/administration/MFCF-services-agreement][MFCF Services Agreement]] ---+++ News items of interest to MFCF/CSCF staff See [[News]]. ---++ Information on who can read and write on this web * WhoCanReadWrite - this describes who can read these pages and update them. Are these pages accessible to Google? ---++ Site Tools of the %WEB% Web %INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.WebSiteTools"}% ---+++ Announcements The director or the new employee's manager should announce in advance to the existing employees that the new person arrives on such and such a date. Included should be some background information -- who the new person will work for, what their particular job is, where they came from, for example. ---+++ UWDir entry If they do not already have a [[http://uwdir.uwaterloo.ca/~uwdir/][UWdir]] ID, Jennifer Keir can get that setup. She will need their SIN and birth date. ---+++ Picture If an appropriate picture isn't available, make an appoint with Graphic Services to have one taken. Or consider simply using the CSCF camera. ---+++ Access Privileges ---++++ Accounts Created needed accounts beforehand. Certainly on the cscf.cs and the core.cs environment, and if at all needed, on the student.cs environment. A general.math account is required to view the "Who's (Not) Here" page. Make sure that all but their "home" accounts have mail forwarded to their home account, e.g. by forwarding to @uwaterloo.ca, and having that forward to their home account. ---++++ RT See RTAddingStaffMember for information on adding a staff member to RT. ---++++ Twiki They should be added to the CSCF list of users. Follow the instructions in ~cs-adm/controls/README (or ask Isaac). ---++++ Internal WWW Pages Most of the <em>.htaccess</em> files for internal WWW pages are maintained in www.cs:/software/wwwdata_cs.uwaterloo.ca/data/vhosts/cs/cscf/internal/htaccess/. The .htaccess file that controls access to the shared [[https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/mfcf/internal/vacation/][Who's (Not) Here]] pages resides on www.math. ---++++ External WWW Pages Write access to WWW pages is determined by group membership in various groups, not all of which are predictable. For CS WWW pages, membership in group <em>www_cscf</em> is a good start. Depending upon the nature of the work to be done, membership in group <em>www_cs</em> is the next step. Membership in group <em>www_cf</em> on general.math is required to update WWW pages shared with MFCF. ---++++ !BookIt Send an email to request@ist. ---++++ Inventory System It's most likely inventory system access (see accounts@cs). ---+++ Paper Mail Allocate a slot in the mailroom. ---++ As They Arrrive ---+++ Public Documentation Update staff listings. Update the campus phonebook. ---+++ Orientation Tour Your manager will take you on a tour of the physical premises, including * the main CS office * the mailroom * printer rooms * CSCF machine rooms, and perhaps others * MC machine room and labs * DC Food Services, MC C&D ---+++ Your Colleagues Your manager will introduce you to the rest of CSCF, and should you become a Point of Contact, to your clients. You can get an idea of CSCF stucture by consulting the [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/about/cscf_orgchart][Organizational Chart]]. In addition, if at all involved with teaching support, you'll be introduced to relevant MFCF staff, in particular, the Client Support Supervisor. ---++ Additional Access Privileges In addition to access mentioned above, new employees may, depending upon their duties, need * a "key fob", typically used to gain access to various rooms (IST configures these) * root access on cscf.cs or the core and student environments * See: CFPrivate.SuperUserAccess * a two-factor fob, e.g. !SecurID (See Guoxiang) * cable lock combinations * the standard CSCF workstation login * [[http://cn-ona.uwaterloo.ca/][ONA]] access * [[http://nsbuild.uwaterloo.ca/][Maintain]] access ---++ Reporting Procedures ---+++ Ongoing Your manager/supervisor will meet with you on a regular basis. In the beginning, it may be quite frequently. Eventually, the schedule will be determined to best suit your (and your manager's) working style and needs, typically ranging from bi-weekly to twice weekly. Even daily is a possibility. ---+++ Mid-term Roughly half way through the year, a simplified staff review is done, to be sure that everyone understands current performance and goals. ---+++ Annual Review A formal review of work is done every year, usually by March, covering the previous calendar year. ---++ Insurance, Health & Safety ---+++ WHMIS See: http://www.safetyoffice.uwaterloo.ca/hse/chemicals/whmis/whmis.htm ---++ Reference materials * NewCscfEmployeeGuideFAQ * [[http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/howto/][CS Guides and Tutorials]] - especially the New User's Guide * [[http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/mfcf/internal/procedures/new_staff.html][old MFCF notes]] -- Main.AdrianPepper - 24 Oct 2008
