[Phpwiki-talk] Tips on authentication

[Jack T. <jm...@tw...>]

I have a desire for a slightly complicated system of authentication, and 
I do not know whether phpwiki will handle it.

A guestbook-type page would be global read and write.  A personal page 
would be locked down for write to the particular user, but globally 
readable.  Some privileged pages may be read/write restricted to all 
authenticated users, or any subset of them.  And so on.

The phpwiki page on authentication seems to provide a single setting for 
everything -- what am I missing?

Jack.

Our auth can do that, but you need perms.

We do have ACL's: See http://phpwiki.org/PagePermissions

Default is the change perm for admin and owner.

So you only have to change the edit perms for the personal pages.
Best if you put all of them as subpages and set the ACL's of the 
basepage for these protected pages.
