How to protect files
 | |
WikiSysop can also protect a file by setting its description page to the «protection view». Others cannot overwrite
such files anymore. Other users will see such an error message:
Upload warning → Protected page
|
How to remove rights to specific actions
In the following example of includes/DefaultSettings.php
a common user may not move pages or upload files anymore.

Tip: You can also setup a read-only Wiki by out-commenting these lines:
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = true;
|
/**
* Permission keys given to users in each group.
* All users are implicitly in the '*' group including anonymous visitors;
* logged-in users are all implicitly in the 'user' group. These will be
* combined with the permissions of all groups that a given user is listed
* in in the user_groups table.
*
* This replaces wgWhitelistAccount and wgWhitelistEdit
*/
$wgGroupPermissions = array();
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['bot' ]['bot'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['block'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['createaccount'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['delete'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editinterface'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['import'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['importupload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['move'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['patrol'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['protect'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['rollback'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['upload'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['userrights'] = true;
// Used by the Special:Renameuser extension
$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['renameuser'] = true;
Add your own group
| |
Since MediaWiki 1.5.3 you will not find the groups of your Wiki in the database anymore
but in the DefaultSettings.php file.
|
Edit includes/DefaultSettings.php
$wgGroupPermissions['foogroup' ]['move'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['foogroup' ]['read'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['foogroup' ]['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['foogroup' ]['upload'] = true;
Then, assign your new group to specific users:
→ localhost/wiki/index.php/Special:Userrights↑
