Background

MediaWiki knows groups that can be given certain privileges:

• Bureaucrats
• Sysops
• Bots
• Logged on user with verified email address
• Logged on user with suffciently old account
• Logged on user
• Anonymous user

If editing shall be restricted to trusted users this is not possible.
Furthermore it is not possible to restrict reading to trusted users which might be necessary when using MediaWiki for sensitive information.

What does this extension do?

Two new user groups are introduced:

• 'Readers' can read any article that a user could read in a standard wiki.
• 'Editors' can do anything a user could do in a standard wiki.

You can grant read authorization to anonymous users with:
$xyAllowAnonymousRead = true;

You can grant read authorization to logged on users with:
$xyAllowUserRead = true;

The ''Main Page'' is readable by any user, to allow creation of user accounts.
