UserConfiguration

1. Wiki user configuration

Users are made known to the wiki by self-registration, using the UserPreferences link from the wiki front page.

Users may be assigned to groups according to the instructions in the wiki help files.

A page AdminGroup has been created for users with admin rights to this Wiki.

A page UserGroup has been created for users with read/write rights to this Wiki.

2. Authorizing users

Users are authorized by access control lists (ACLs - see HelpOnAccessControlLists).

The user groups AdminGroup and UserGroup are used in conjunction with the acl_rights_before and acl_rights_default entries in wikiconfig.py to provide default access to all pages that do not have an explicit access control list:

    acl_rights_before  = u"AdminGroup:read,write,delete,revert,admin"
    acl_rights_default = u"UserGroup:read,write,delete,revert All:read"
