ACL
Contents
WARNING : Access rights are only available to moderators
Why setting access rights
The reasons can be numerous :
- you don't have trusts in others,
- you want to protect a particular page (like the root page),
- ...
How ?
Use the "edit ACL" link available in the edit area.
You will be displayed the following form :
Currently, ACL support only write rights. In the future, you will have also :
- read right
- move right
- comment right
- plugin defined rights (trackback right for example)
- ...
On the left are shown the list of available groups. On the right are shown the list of groups having the write rights to the page.
- if the write list is empty, that means everyone can modify the page
- if the write list is not empty, then only members of the group in the write list can modify the page
Groups are defined in the admin panel. See the related documentation.
- To add group(s) in the write list, select one or more groups in the "available list", and use the ">>" button to add them in the write list.
- To remove group(s) from the write list, select one or more groups in the "write list", and use the "<<" button to remove them : it will add them again to the list of available groups.
If you want to apply this change to all children of the page you're currently editing, then check the "Apply recursively" checkbox, then use the ">>" or the "<<" button. The operation will be applied on all children too.

Restriction to User level

Admins would have access to the entire site, An author would only have access to the pages they create within their own area, but Author1 would not have access to Author2's content.
Bar creating a group per user, is there any other way of doing this?
Not for the moment

What could be done is to handle a user as a group. This would discard the need to create a group per user. Then what can be done right after is to either
- have acls inherits parent acl on creation
- have user define their default creation rights
Hmmm...

I think personally, the ideal solution for me would be the ability to add users AND groups to an ACL. This way, a shared source on the site can be given to a group, but personal space would be just to a user. And I also know what sounds very simple could/would be extremely hard to do to the code behind - or means a massive change.
Also, how would I automatically inherit the parent ACL? Obviously that would be the best case, as if they want to add more people to the ACL then they can afterwards.
Would that be something that would have to be added to WiClear or is that a preference that I haven't seen yet?
This has to be done

I know of people who have already done this dev to wiclear, but unfortunately they did not send me the patches so I have to do it again.
Right now, I'd like to stop adding new features and fix the existing problems to deliver a 1.0 version.
As I've recently moved from Paris to New York, I cannot do it right now (I have to find an appartment for my family and complete all the paperwork) but I guess this will be done in a near future.

Don't know

Don't know what 0 is. (you can look at lib/constants.lib for value definitions)
I had a quick look to the db of my different sites using wiclear : no such value.
So either you have hit a bug (yet to reproduce) or you or someone else did a manual operation on the database.
