All our internal documentation at EML is stored on Confluence. (Project documentation is stored on Teams, Github, and the UBC Wiki.)
If you are a paid EML team member, and cannot access Confluence, please tell the EML Supervisor and EML Coordinator immediately, and you will be granted access.
Volunteers do not have access to Confluence.
Getting access to Confluence
Confluence (linked here) is UBC IT's documentation server. We use it at EML for our internal documentation.
Important: volunteers do not have access to Confluence.
Do you already have access to Confluence?
Try logging into Confluence first by going here. You may need to use Duo Push to log in.
There is a special section for EML documentation that requires you to log in a second time to view here.
If you can connect to Confluence, email emergingmedia.lab@ubc.ca to ask for access to the EML section of Confluence.
If you don't have access to Confluence, here's how to get it:
- Request access to the Confluence through UBC IT's Self Service Portal, available at: https://ubc.service-now.com/selfservice/ Links to an external site. (CWL username/password required)
- Click on Request a Service
- Click on Administrative Application Access & Support, then Request Application Access
- Complete and submit the form. Specify "Confluence" in the "specific application name" field and in the body, include "I'm a Work Learn student at the Emerging Media Lab, and the Lab Supervisor asked me to get added to Confluence."
Confirming you have access to Confluence
Once UBC IT has granted you access to Confluence, they'll email you on your UBC email to let you know. At that point, you should log into Confluence here and click on "Emerging Media Lab" in the left-hand sidebar.
Important: Confluence requires both a CWL login as well as to log into the software itself for authorized users. To keep EML's documentation out of the rest of IT's update feed, we've made the entire EML section private. This means you must log in AGAIN by clicking "Login" in the top right of the Confluence page.
Once you've logged into Confluence for the first time, notify the Lab Coordinator and provide your CWL to be added to EML's space on Confluence.
If you cannot access Confluence, or lose access, you must tell the Lab Supervisor and Lab Coordinator immediately.
