Wiki Access Control
In order to understand how to control access to your Wiki site, you need to understand DokuWiki authentication and access control.
The following groups come preconfigured with our DokuWiki installation:
| Group | Description |
|---|---|
| cse | Any user who has a CSE system account is in the cse group. |
| wiki | Any user that you create locally on your wiki is in the wiki group. |
| ALL | This group includes all users on your wiki - those in the cse group, wiki group, and even those who haven't logged in. |
By default, any user in the world has the ability to view all the content in your Wiki. Administrators have access to edit content. If you are satisfied with this setup, you don't need to change a thing.
If you need to restrict content on your site, you will be able to restrict content to groups that you create. These groups can include system groups (eg. tech, faculty, ugrad), class lists, or even other wiki groups.
ALL cse users are automatically registered with your Wiki and have the ability to login. What they will see when they login differs based on how you setup the Access Control List.
