IFSR - International Federation for Systems Research

This page collects information intended to help you to use the IFSR web site.

Do I have to register to access IFSR's web site NO, you can browse the web site without registration, but you cannot enter any infomation and you will not see some pages.

How to I register? In order to register go to the first page and click on 'create new account'. The system will answer with a panel asking for a 'user name' (whatever you choose) and your valid e-mail address (note both the user name and the email address must be UNIQUE in the system!)
You will receive (from 'me@localhost.com') an email which allows you to access the IFSR host ONCE in order to choose a password (and do more if you like).

What to if I forget my password? Enter your user name and click 'Request new password ' . You will receive (from 'me@localhost.com') an email which allows you to access the IFSR host ONCE in order to choose a (new) password. The password is invisible even to the webmaster!

Why should I register? Once registered you can put comments and information into some of the pages. Persons active in IFSR can upon request to the webmster (!) yget more read and write priviledges

Who knows my password? Even the Webmaster only sees the names of the registered users and their e-mails but not their passwords.

Who assignes further priviledges? To get special status/priviledges please send an email to the webmaster requesting these. The webmaster will assign these permissions.

What further priviledges exist The IFSR website currently uses the following hierarchy ousers and their ppriviledges:

• Users without registration: may only read certain pages
• Registered user: may make comments on certain pages
• VIP (very important person): may additionally add page contents of some pages
• P-C-Member: (member of an IFSR Committee or Project) more read and write permissions
• Board Member (representative of a member society) more read and write permissions
• EC-Member : (member of the Executive Committee) more read and write permissions
• Webmaster : full rights, including eliminating pages and deleting users etc.
  VIPs, P-C-Members, Board Members and EC-Members receive increasingly more rights with respect to reading from and writing to pages. We are still experimenting with the details of permissions.
