    • How do I navigate to set permissions?

    Posted by Jonathan Hayward

    Documentation » Features » Admin Panels » Permissions Settings (http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Permissions+SettingsQuestion)

    I found this document, which seems to tell me almost everything I want to know, but DOESN'T tell how to get to the permissions page. My admin menu reads:

    Admin home
    Admin mods
    Backups
    Cache
    Content templates
    Cookies
    DSN
    External wikis
    Groups
    HTML pages
    Hotwords
    Links
    Mail notifications
    Menus
    Modules
    Polls
    QuickTags
    RSS modules
    Search stats
    Security Admin
    Shoutbox
    Shoutbox Words
    System Admin
    Tiki Logs
    Users
    phpinfo

    and it is not clear to me which of these, and in how many clicks, would get me to the promised land of the permissions setting page.

    How do I get to the permissions setting page? And could tiki be modified, and/or http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Permissions+SettingsQuestion be modified so it says at the beginning "Here's how to navigate to the page(s) you will be told how to use?

    Update: after digging around and watching the TikiMovie "Preliminary Settings", I made some non-intuitive steps and pieced together the following:

    * Go to "Admin/Groups".
    * Click on the name of a group, i.e. "Registered" under "List of existing groups."
    * Click on the little "Assign permissions." link.

    From a usability standpoint, it would be better if the links had names that suggested "Here's how you can assign permission" ("Groups" could conceivably be guessed as where you go to edit permissions, but so could a lot of other things), and if the setting permissions page specified this, because I at least didn't quite find it obvious.
