what is the best way of setting up access permissions

posts: 55

Hello all,

I am trying to work out the easiest and best way to setup a permissions system within a tikiwiki site

The facts

  • the site contains 600 pages and is growing fast
  • 200 users and growing fast
  • users are typically students in one or more courses
  • most pages should be accessible to all registered users
  • some pages should be openly accessible to the internet
  • some pages should be accessible to only people in a specific course


It seems that each course should be a group and I will add users (or users groups to) these groups.

How is the best and most scalable way of implementing a permissions system so the creator of a page can decide who can access the page:

  • everyone on the net
  • registered users to the site
  • members of a particular course

Ideally the people who can access the page should be visible on the page e.g. "Restricted to members of the zxc course"

I know that the individual can assign permissions to the page on a page by page basis using the PERMS button but this will require a number of permissions to be set for each page

  • tiki_p_view
  • tiki_p_edit
  • tiki_p_rollback


It would be good if the permissions could be based on the category that a applied to a page because the category is visible at the top of the page and it is searchable.

Any assistance would be gratefully accepted

Best way: use workspaces, from AulaWiki Mod (0.7+ from http://www.escire.com/aulawiki/mods, which is MUCH newer and improved than "1.2" from mods.tw.o)

Documentation on http://edu.tikiwiki.org
(as there again, Peter, if needed, on edu.tw.o users forum)
And welcome there :-)

(sorry for taking so long to get and answer your message)
