What is BlueSpicePageAccess?

BlueSpicePageAccess restricts access to a page to specified user groups. It is inserted with the tag pageaccess. Access restriction per page is done on a group basis. "Access" here means all actions, including read and edit.

Usage

To add this tag with VisualEditor:

  1. Position the cursor at the beginning of your page.
  2. Select Insert > Magic word.
  3. Select Page access in the dialog box.
  4. Click Done.
  5. Add the groups to the Page access dialog box.
  6. Click Insert.
    Screenshot: Page access dialog box

The page now shows an info header that shows the groups that have access.

In source view, the tag looks like this:

 <bs:pageaccess groups="sysop" /> 

To add more groups, use commas to separate:

 <bs:pageaccess groups="sysop,secure1,secure2" />

A user can only restrict access to the groups this user belongs to. This is a security feature to prevent users from locking themselves out of a page.
