In order to be able to make edits to our Confluence space, your account must be granted a Confluence Cloud license by IST. Note that we only possess a limited quantity of these licenses (150) and so they should only be provisioned as necessary. Since only Admins can add new members through sending an IT request, rocketry team members should request to be added as Editors by adding their names to this sheet.
The steps below outline the process to request a license through IST’s Jira Portal.
Note that only users of the Confluence space with admin permissions can request the provisioning of licenses

IST will process your ticket in due time. Updates to it will be sent your uwaterloo email, so be sure to keep an eye on it. Once you have received a response to the ticket indicating that the license has been granted, confirm that you can make changes to the Confluence page and then reply to the ticket letting them know. They will close the ticket (or you could just do it yourself), and you will be good to go.
