Wiki permissions
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2005 5:43 amHi all,
I've just updated the permissions for the wiki (http://www.bundysoft.com/wiki/). Either I screwed up during the installation, or the out-of-the-box settings of dokuwiki allow everyone in the world to have full write and upload control. This seemed to me to be a little bit generous and a little bit dangerous. Anyway, as it stands now, non-logged-in users can look but can't touch, while logged-in users can edit and create pages, as well as upload files (though I've yet to try the upload bit).
As the site matures I might have to vary some of these permissions for some pages and for some groups of users, but as it is, it's pretty much a free-for-all for community members.
