Extension:GroupPermissions allows preset $wgGroupPermissions to be changed internally.

Contents

[edit] Usage

[edit] Version 1.2 and above

Put this line (exactly as it appears) at the VERY END of your LocalSettings.php file. Any changes to the $wgGroupPermissions array may or may not be included in the special page if it is not toward the end of the file.

require_once( "$IP/extensions/GroupPermissions/GroupPermissions.php" );

To edit those settings the user MUST be a bureaucrat. Anything else will only get read permissions.

To access the page, goto special:micp:GroupPermissions

[edit] Version 1.1 and below

Put these two lines (exactly as they appear) at the VERY END of your LocalSettings.php file. This will allow GroupPermissions.php to read/write its changes to settings.php. Any changes to the $wgGroupPermissions array may or may not be included in the special page.

require_once( "$IP/extensions/GroupPermissions/settings.php");
require_once( "$IP/extensions/GroupPermissions/GroupPermissions.php" );

To edit those settings the user MUST be a bureaucrat. Anything else will only get read permissions.

To access the page, goto special:GroupPermissions

  • Remove groups
  • Disable groups
  • Rename groups
  • View Members in the group

Possibly might include:

  • Ability to display currently available Updated versions on the Version page (Maybe)
