Controlling read/write access to single pages


Wikka supports advanced ACL (access control lists) management for setting user privileges on single pages.
Making a page read-only, private, or writable by a restricted number of users is possible by setting the appropriate privileges for the page in question.

ACL can be easily set by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.

Three fields are available:
determines which users can read the page
determines which users can write the page
determines which users can post comments on the page

ACL Syntax
The three fields accept the following values:

* = Everyone
+ = Registered users only
Or any enter individual user WikiNames (one per line)

Any of these items can be negated with a !

!* = No one
!+ = Anonymous users only
!JohnDoe = JohnDoe will be denied access.

Be aware that the ACLs are tested in the order specified.
So be sure to specify * on a separate line
after negating any users - not before.
Otherwise, the * everyone condition will always give access
before the list of users that should not have access is tested.

ACL default values

Default ACL for new pages can be set in the ConfigurationOptions wikka configuration file by Wikka administrators.

Comment restrictions

Comment-ACL for single pages can be overridden by:



Page ownership


Pages can be either Public, Free or Owned by a registered user.
Page ownership determines who has access to the ACL management of that page.

For instance, if a page is owned by JohnDoe, no user other than JohnDoe or Wikka administrators can change its ACL.
If a page is set to Public no user except Wikka administrators can change its ACL.
If a page ownership is free any registered user can take ownership of the page.

When creating a page, its owner is automatically set to the user who created the page.
Wikka administrators can override ACL and have unconstrained read/write/comment access to any page.
