Re: Re: Renaming Anonymous and Registered user grops
Anonymous and Registered are the terms used to describe the status of whether a user is or is not registered as a member of a Tiki site. I believe these terms are used in Tiki's code and so cannot be easily changed.
"basic," "registered," "editor," "editors" (There are only two "editor" perms, involving DNS, so these probably should be merged with editors perms.) and "admin" are not groups but rather are suggested permission levels the perms of which can be assigned collectively as a convenience. Earlier Tiki versions didn't have these levels on the assign-permissions pages, so each permission had to be assigned individually; the levels concept helps organize the permissions and gives some clues about which perms are appropriate for different kinds of user groups. But they aren't automatically assigned because, I suppose, each Tiki admin might have a different idea about what should be included. I don't recall off-hand what the default perms in a new Tiki install are for Anonymous and Registered users, but these are just to get started with in any case. Admins may want to — and easily can — add or delete perms depending on how open or closed they want their site to be.
Although you can save time by assigning all perms of a level together, you should look carefully at the results and make sure you want all the perms, or see if you want to add others. The perms included in "basic" and "registered" in particular seem to be pretty subjective and almost arbitrary to me. I have a hard time seeing a consistent rationale for these levels.
