Wiki Space Permissions
There is a fine-grained permission system. In a simple way, the following rights
- reading pages
- commenting on pages
- creating and modifying pages
- administration
can be assigned to:
- an individual user (UC or remote)
- a manually configured group of users
- a group defined based on departmental code
- any University of Canterbury user (but not remote users)
- any user with a valid login (including remote users from other universities)
- anonymous users
The following use cases illustrate what permission sets have been found useful
A small project among a few researchers
- Project leader has all permissions (including adminstration)
- Project participants have full access to all pages (everything but administration)
Departmental wiki
- HOD (or someone charged by HOD) has administrative access
- A group created for the department has create/modify/read/comment access
- Collaborators from other departments may be individually granted access.
- The wiki may or may not be readable to all UoC users (including anonymous users).
