Permissions management


The permission manager can be accessed from the Global actions menu under Administration > Permissions. This link loads the page Special:PermissionManager.

Settings

An administrator can choose between three types of settings. The setting Private Wiki is activated by default.

Permission type Description
Protected wiki The wiki is visible to anyone. Only logged-in users can edit the wiki.
  • All users have edit rights by default.
  • To approve a page (if the approval mechanism is activated in a namespace), the groups "editor" and "reviewer" must be assigned to a user.
  • To manage the wiki (administrative tasks), the group "sysop" must be assigned to a user.
Private wiki Only logged-in users can view and edit the wiki.
  • To edit a page, users must be assigned to the "editor" group.
  • To approve a page (if the approval mechanism is activated in a namespace), the groups "editor" and "reviewer" must be assigned to a user.
  • To manage the wiki (administrative tasks), the group "sysop" must be assigned to a user
Custom setup

(BlueSpice pro)

Roles and groups are assigned by an administrator. This is necessary if different namespaces need to have different user rights. See the next section for more info.
Note:In BlueSpice pro Cloud, it is not possible to assign edit, comment, or upload rights to anonymous users.

Custom setup

Important!If you want to manually manage the permissions in your wiki, you need to be familiar with the concept of groups and roles in the wiki. Please check the necessary info about rights concepts before assigning roles to groups.
