Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] a question about permissions

[Dennis D. <dda...@ma...>]

Alan,
You've hit on an issue that has come up before. I've been trying to do 
what you want to do for some time. I use Tiki as the platform for my 
English classes. Like you, I want to give write perms to some, read 
perms to others and a mix of both to all. Using groups you can achieve 
some of what you desire but group and individual permissions management 
in Tiki can be very time consuming and in the end providing unsatisfying 
results. Tiki was not designed for granular control over content and in 
consequence has been difficult to implement. This is not the news you 
wanted but Tiki gets better all the time! What you've described is 
desired by many administrators! :)

best
Dennis
