Basics: The rights and roles concept of the wiki
In order to administer properly, an understanding of the concept is a prerequisite. The starting point for the assignment of rights is not the individual user, but the user group, which is equipped with different roles and thus rights. The permissions add up when the user is in multiple groups.
So it follows this scheme:
The following hierarchical standard groups and roles already exist in the wiki:
* is the group in which every visitor of the wiki is automatically automatic, because this is the group of unannounced users.
user is the group of users who are logged in to the wiki - so they have an account and are logged in.
All other groups stand on one level and are hierarchically superior to the other two groups. They then already perform certain functions, e.g. editor (someone with write access) or sysop (a full-privileged administrator).
The roles in the column next to it contain sets of permissions. The roles are activated in the groups and thus the groups are provided with the permissions. Depending on the group that gets a user, so he gets the appropriate permissions as equipment.
Create new user
Open the user administration in the admin tab of the navigation. There you can create a new user by clicking on the plus-symbol by specifying the required data. Select one or more groups to give the user permissions.
In this wiki the access without registration (without account) is not permitted. So the group * has no permission - also no read access. To enable your new wiki user to interact with the wiki, it must at least be logged in. After logging in, it is automatically in the group "user", so it can read, search, create and delete pages in the wiki - so it has editing access to everything important in the wiki. If you want the new user to be able to manage the wiki, you must assign the group "Administrators".
