Edit Group Notes

• You can put any number of names in the large text box at once. They should each be on a separate line. For example, you can copy and paste from an excel spreadsheet or other text list, and add all the names at once.

• The search will find "imbedded" names. For example, search for "Lai" will find "Claire" and other names.

Key Concepts: Stellar Users

• MIT Community: all MIT community members have Stellar accounts. They use X.509 certificates (see http://web.mit.edu/is/help/cert/ ) to access Stellar.

• Non-MIT individuals may be given a Stellar Account. They must be "sponsored" by MIT faculty. Contact stellar-help@mit.edu for details.
