A profile would not be very useful if it could not grant rights appropriately for groups. Profiles allow to create groups and to modify the permissions of existing groups using a unified syntax.
The permissions block is a top level block.
The YAML Camel for permissions.
You can use Page "PermissionManagement" does not exist to create (most of) the YAML markup you need to create a permissions profile. (Excel 2007)
TikiPress MU - Multiple Bloggers,Teachers,Facilitators etc, working with registered participants,all managed by staff.
Example
Permission block structure sample
YAML
preferences:
...
permissions:
Anonymous:
allow: [ export_wiki ]
Registered:
description: Will be ignored because group is already created
allow: [ edit, minor ]
deny: [ export_wiki ]
Moderators:
description: Trusted users watching the recent changes to avoid spam
allow: [ ''rollback'' ]
include: [ Registered ]
objects:
-
type: forum
id: $moderator_discussion_forum
allow: [ forun_post, forum_post_topic, forum_read ]
objects:
...
Permissions can be set to specific objects as long as the ID is known or it was also created by a profile using
Object References. The object type does not have to be supported by Tiki Profiles, but a static ID will have to be provided.
