TBWiki can be configured to grant different privileges to users based on user accounts.

Contents:

Users [edit section]

TBwiki allows users to create accounts, which allow for customizing the settings for a user, or granting special privileges on the site.

creating an account [edit section]

A user account can be created by selecting "Login", then clicking on the link "Create user account".

This will present a form for creating a new user.

Editing your account information [edit section]

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.

Edit the values you wish to change, then click "Save"

Account privileges [edit section]

The wiki can be configured with different permission settings.

The three basic permissions are:

For now, permissions apply to the entire wiki, and not to individual pages.

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).

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.

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.

Administrators [edit section]

administering accounts [edit section]

To see the list of user accounts, go to the Admin_Users page on the wiki where you wish to administer users.

This will show a list of user accounts, in table format.

You can delete accounts, or edit the values for an account.

Note that you must be an administer to access the list of users or to edit a user account besides your own.
