Manual:Extension/BlueSpicePageAccess

The BlueSpicePageAccess extension allows you to restrict access to a page to specific user groups. The restriction is done by inserting the pageaccess tag. The access restriction per page is done on a group basis. "Access" here means all actions including reading and editing.

Instructions

To add this tag using VisualEditor:

1. Position the cursor at the top of your page.
2. Select Add Content Droplet.
3. Select Page Access Permission in the dialog box.
4. Click Insert.
5. Add the desired groups.
6. Click Insert.
   alternative text=Restrict read access to groups

The page now shows an info header with the groups that have access.

Page access banner

In source view, the tag looks like this:

<bs:pageaccess groups="sysop" />

To add more groups, separate them with commas:

<bs:pageaccess groups="sysop, secure1,secure2" />

Important!A user can only restrict access to the groups that user belongs to. This is a security feature that prevents users from locking themselves out of a page. In addition, users in the sysop group always have access to these pages.
