Accessing the Permission manager

To manage permissions, you use the Permission manager. It is located under Global actions > Management > Permission manager. This links to the page Special:PermissionManager.

Permission types

An administrator can select between three permission settings. By default, the wiki is set to be private.

Permission manager settings (cloud)

Permission type	Description
Protected wiki	The wiki is visible to anyone. Only logged-in users can edit the wiki. All users have edit rights by default. To approve a page (if the approval mechanism is activated in a namespace), the groups "editor" and "reviewer" must be assigned to a user. To manage the wiki (administrative tasks), the group "sysop" must be assigned to a user.
Private wiki	Only logged-in users can view and edit the wiki. To edit a page, users must be assigned to the "editor" group. To approve a page (if the approval mechanism is activated in a namespace), the groups "editor" and "reviewer" must be assigned to a user. To manage the wiki (administrative tasks), the group "sysop" must be assigned to a user
Custom setup	Roles and groups are assigned by an administrator. This is necessary if different namespaces need to have different user rights. See the next section for more info.
