Aide:Managing user rights : Différence entre versions

User rights are specific access and ability permissions that can be assigned to customizable groups, which can then be assigned to (or removed from) users through the Special:Userrights interface. For example, the default bureaucrat group enables the use of the User rights interface.

This feature was introduced in MediaWiki 1.5; see setting user rights in MediaWiki on the Meta-wiki for earlier methods.

Managing groups

A default MediaWiki installation assigns certain rights to default groups (see below). You can change the default rights by declaring the $wgGroupPermissions array in LocalSettings.php with the syntax "$wgGroupPermissions[' group '][' right '] = boolean;". To change permissions for all groups, use "*" as the group. For example, to disable editing for all users, add "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;".

In addition to the default groups, you can arbitrarily create new groups using the same array. For example:

 $wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['bot']    = true;
 $wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['block']  = true;
 $wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['delete'] = true;

Rights and groups

The following user rights are available:

The following groups are available:

Default rights

The default rights are defined in DefaultSettings.php. MediaWiki 1.11alpha defines the following:

/**
 * Permission keys given to users in each group.
 * All users are implicitly in the '*' group including anonymous visitors;
 * logged-in users are all implicitly in the 'user' group. These will be
 * combined with the permissions of all groups that a given user is listed
 * in in the user_groups table.
 *
 * Functionality to make pages inaccessible has not been extensively tested
 * for security. Use at your own risk!
 *
 * This replaces wgWhitelistAccount and wgWhitelistEdit

Examples

Anonymous users cannot view pages

This example will disable viewing of all pages not listed in $wgWhitelistRead, then re-enable for registered users only.

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read']    = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['read'] = true;
