Individual Permissions for Wiki Pages

posts: 33 United States

Hello,

Am a bit rusty on Wiki design at present, so I would be thankful if someone could offer clear directions for the following task:

I have an academic book project going with more than a dozen contributors. As the admin I've already created a menu and a separate module for each person, listing several Wiki pages: each person should have a CV page, a page for the essay he or she is writing for the project, and a page for the brief "abstract" of the essay. I've already registered them all as individual users, and have made each user his/her own "personal group."

What I would like to do now is make the individual contributors sole editors of the pages I've created for them. Other registered users should be able to view the pages, but only the individual contributors should be able to make changes to their own work. If Bob Franklin is writing an essay, I want him to be the only person (aside from myself as admin) who can do anything aside from viewing that essay.

I don't want the kind of setup where every registered user can make changes to everybody else's work, but at the same time, as administrator I want to set up the site's structure so that we have some uniformity of style and coherence in the type of content offered. I don't want contributors to have to do anything aside from just posting the appropriate content to the pages I've made for them — i.e. they'll be posting revised drafts of their essays, and so forth.

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks very much in advance.
