Problem with categories and permissions

posts: 8

Hi,

I try to create a knowledge base / collaboration site. We have several departments and the majority of our information is to be accessible to all departments. Some info however (login data for example) must be accessible only to people of that department.

I created a group and a category for every department. Next I granted the department-group full access on the department-category. Others only have read access. The idea is that each department is admin on their own subsite and that others can still read their information.

Then I created group homepages for each department and added them to the correct category. If I log in in one department, I indeed get "edit" buttons and the like on pages belonging to my department, but not on the other ones. So far, so good.

However, if I edit a page, I don't get the tab "Category", so I can't change anything about the category. I would like to do that, because some pages are going to be shared between a few departments. Even more urgent is the fact that I can't create new pages: Permission denied you cannot edit this page.

I'm using 4.1.

Any suggestions? I can send the complete database dump for anyone interested, just holler.

Kind regards

Nobody around with enough knowledge to shed some light on this?

What group are you a member of when you log in, and what permissions does that group have regarding wiki pages?

Gary,

I created group "Systems" and category "Systems". Then I granted all privileges on category Systems to group Systems. However, members of group Systems cannot create new pages or change the category on pages.

I configured group Systems to assign category Systems to new pages.

How do I allow users to create new pages without making them admin?
