There are three basic configurations for user access to the Wiki. These are described below:
Anyone can read or edit pages
Anyone can read or edit pages, but to change things like the user list and the footers you must log in with the name "admin" and a suitable password. This is the default setting.
The Users.wkc file for this setting would look like this:
:=rw
admin:password=rwa
Anyone can read but only authors can edit pages
Anyone can read the pages, but only authors (and admins) can edit pages. Authors use Author Login to gain access to the system or select Edit Page.
The Users.wkc file for this setting would look like this:
:=r
eddie:password=rw:EddieHomePage
debi:password=rw:DebiHomePage
admin:password=rwa
This defines two authors and an admin. Each author has a home page. Note that you should use a seperate admin login even if you are the only author.
Only authors can read and edit pages
You must log in to even read the Wiki!
The Users.wkc file for this setting would look like this:
:=
eddie:password=rw:EddieHomePage
debi:password=rw:DebiHomePage
admin:password=rwa
Wide open
For personal use only, you can leave the Wiki wide open by just having one line in Users.wkc:
:=rwa
This is not recommended, since anyone can go to Admin Login and then change Users.wkc to lock you out!!!
(Note: perhaps I need a command-line switch to enable Admin Login actually ... this is a beta!)
Help!!!
If you get in trouble, shut the server down and delete the Users.wkc file in the Pages directory. This will reset the server to its default state.
