| </h1> | | |
| TBwiki allows users to create accounts, which allow for customizing the settings for a user, or granting special privileges on the site. | | |
| <p> | | |
| <h2><a name="Creating_an_account">Creating an account</a> | | |
| <span align=right class="section_edit_link">[<a href="/tbwiki/DocUsers?action=edit§ion=Creating_an_account">edit section</a>]</font></span> | | |
| </h2> | | |
| A user account can be created by selecting "Login", then clicking | | |
| on the link "Create user account". | | |
| <p> | | |
| This will present a form for creating a new user. | | |
| <p> | | |
| If the wiki is not configured for user account creation, there will be | | |
| a message indicating to contact the wiki administrator by email to have the | | |
| administrator create the account for you. | | |
| <p> | | |
| <h2><a name="Editing_your_account_information">Editing your account information</a> | | |
| <span align=right class="section_edit_link">[<a href="/tbwiki/DocUsers?action=edit§ion=Editing_your_account_information">edit section</a>]</font></span> | | |
| </h2> | | |
| To edit your account information, login using your account. | | |
| Your account name should show as a link in the upper right of the page. | | |
| Click on your account name, and you will be taken to a form | | |
| for editing the values of your account. | | |
| <p> | | |
| Edit the values you wish to change, then click "Save" | | |
| <p> | | |
| <h1><a name="Account_privileges">Account privileges</a> | | |
| <span align=right class="section_edit_link">[<a href="/tbwiki/DocUsers?action=edit§ion=Account_privileges">edit section</a>]</font></span> | | |
| </h1> | | |
| The wiki can be configured with different permission settings. | | |
| <p> | | |
| The three basic permissions are: | | |
| <ul><li>read | | |
| <li>write | | |
| <li>admin | | |
| </ul> | | |
| <p> | | |
| For now, permissions apply to the entire wiki, and not to individual | | |
| pages. | | |
| <p> | | |
| The 'admin' privilege is set in the accounts of those users who should | | |
| have administration rights to the wiki. This right allows a user to | | |
| administer user accounts (and delete pages). | | |
| <p> | | |
| The wiki may be configured to require that a user be logged in to have | | |
| write access. The write privilege allows for creating pages, editing | | |
| pages, and editing database entries. | | |
| <p> | | |
| The wiki may be configured to require that a user be logged in to have | | |
| read access. The read privilege allows for reading pages on the site, | | |
| but does not allow a site visitor to change any information on the site. | | |
| <p> | | |
| <h1><a name="Administrators">Administrators</a> | | |
| <span align=right class="section_edit_link">[<a href="/tbwiki/DocUsers?action=edit§ion=Administrators">edit section</a>]</font></span> | | |

| </h2> | | |
| If config.user_creation_allowed is set to 0, then users cannot create | | |
| accounts themselves. No link is provided on the user login page for users | | |
| to create accounts. | | |
| <p> | | |
| Usually, this means that users will need to send an email to the wiki administrator in order to create an account for them. | | |
| <p> | | |
| To do this as administrator, you need to temporarily enable | | |
| the 'user_creation_allowed' variable, by directly editing the cgi wrapper. | | |
| Find the line with 'config.user_creation_allowed = 0' and change the 0 to 1. | | |
| The cgi wrapper for the wiki is often found in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/<wiki-name>.cgi | | |
| <p> | | |
| Then create the account, by going through the link on the login page. | | |
| Then disable the user_creation_allowed variable by setting it back to 0. | | |

| </h2> | | |
| To see the list of user accounts, go to the <a href="/tbwiki/Admin_Users">Admin_Users</a> page on | | |
| the wiki where you wish to administer users. | | |
| <p> | | |
| This will show a list of user accounts, in table format. | | |
| <p> | | |
| You can delete accounts, or edit the values for an account. | | |
| <p> | | |
| Note that you must be an administer to access the list of users or | | |
| to edit a user account besides your own. | | |
| <p> | | |
| Note that this uses the 'User' processor plugin. | | |
