Re: Groups and Permissions question

posts: 8 Italy

Hi,

I guess we have the same need. I tried to make a more-or-less formal description of what I need:

I need to have groups of pages in the same wiki that are restricted to specific groups.
In other words, I'd like to have groups of pages with specific wiki permissions set for each user group. Categories seem the right tool.
Right now permissions to see, edit, delete a page are defined by an user's status. I'd like to define them by the user's status AND the page category (logical AND to be on the safe side).

The idea is to assign wiki related permissions to categories. Right now I see that I can only set tik_p_view_categories and tiki_p_admin_categories as permissions for a specific group. I'd like to set permissions like tiki_p_edit as well.

Those permissions should be stronger than global but weaker than per-page permissions.

Then the difficult question: how are categories inherited in new pages created by users of different groups?
Each user should be able to move the page he just created to any category he can create pages in. The default category should be the same of the page where the user comes from (the only backlink at that moment).

I read that Sylvie is already working on this. Sylvie if you need help please let me know!

I just started exploring the tikiwiki world but at least I can test. And maybe debug a little until I learn enough to be more useful.

Ciao
Carlo
