History: Permission_Profile
Preview of version: 18
This is a general discussion page about permissions profiles in TikiWiki
TikiWiki 2.0 offers 221 different permissions that can be assigned to any group. TikiWiki offers a very fine-grained permission system but it's overwhelming for a new admin. One of the goals is to have sensible defaults. But with such a versatile tool, sensible default are quite different per use case. So, the following permission profiles are meant to help accelerate the configuration.
As always:
Publishing_Permissions
Publishing With UGC Permissions
Community_Permissions
Open_Collaboration_Permissions
Extranet_Permissions
Intranet_Permissions

Permission profiles
The following use cases have been identified for which we'll set standard permissions. Then, as admins activate features, the permissions will already be set.Publishing
Classic one-to-many model, feedback is not made publicPublishing_Permissions
Publishing with UGC
Possible to register for trivial things but it's clear that it's not official contentPublishing With UGC Permissions
Open community
Very open but more cautious than Intranet-Collaboration because anyone can register. P2PCommunity_Permissions
Open Collaboration - Full Profile
This is a fairly wide open permission regime. It does not allow anonymous wiki edits but anonymous users can participate in forums, post comments, upload attachments and view pretty much everything that had not been categorized (made private).Open_Collaboration_Permissions
Extranet
Efficient collaboration between company and its customers/partners, limited interaction between customers. See Issue_Tracker vs Bug_Tracker. More of a customer service approach. Interaction between customers is monitored (ex.: forums)Extranet_Permissions
Intranet-Collaboration-Team
A company or team in collaboration (can trust users)Intranet_Permissions
