Overview of all user groups:

Create group

To create a group, move to the administration page via the link "WikiAdmin" (this is only available for sysops). Then choose Group manager. The link "New" takes you to a form where you can enter the name of the group.

The new group will now be visible in the list. It is only given "Read" permission as standard. In order to change this, you must edit the group.

Editing the group's permissions

The permissions of individual groups can be changes in PermissionManager.
