DokuWiki by default allows all visitors of the site to edit your wiki pages. In some cases, random users can deface your wiki site and delete your pages. The image to the right will show the edit options available for any visitor on the site.<\/p>\n

To prevent only certain users for editing the site, you can use the “Access Control List Management<\/em>” in the Administration section of your DokuWiki to change the permissions of the users. This article will explain how to set the permissions for all visitors to read only and how to set specific uses to be allowed to edit the wiki.
<\/p>\n

Brief Outline of Permissions<\/h2>\n

Below is a table with a brief explanation of what each permission is for. The higher permissions will also include the lower permissions. For example, the Create permission will also allow the Read and Edit permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
User Permissions in DokuWiki<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n

3 Edit<\/td>\nCan read and edit pages that are all ready created<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4 Create<\/td>\nAllows Pages and Namespaces to be created<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5 Upload<\/td>\nAllows media to be uploaded to pages<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6 Delete<\/td>\nMedia files can be overwritten or deleted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7 Admin<\/td>\nRestricted to the Admin user<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Now when visiting the site as a regular visitor, you will see the Edit features not available anymore..
    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Allowing certain registered users the Edit capability<\/h2>\n
      \n

      In the Add new Entry box, select the “Edit<\/em>” radio button<\/strong> and click Save<\/strong>.
      <\/p>\n

      <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      Now only the users that you add to the edit permission to will be allowed to edit any pages.
      <\/p>\n

      <\/a><\/li>\n
