Thread:Project:Support desk/Changing Users & Adding "ConfirmAccount" Extension/reply (4)

Hi!

Maybe I just don't understand you, but on which page did you change the username? That special page does not seem to be present in a default installation - did you install an extension to get that page? Maybe that extension is not completely compatible with your MediaWiki version?

When you now log in with one of the two users and go to user preferences, which User ID do you see then?

You have also made your wiki read-protected. If that is what you wanted to get, it's fine. Otherwise you might want to set

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;

so that anonymous users can still read things in there.

The easiest way to fix user permissions might be this: Log in with an account, add this to LocalSettings.php

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['userrights'] = true;

go to the page Special:UserRights and adjust the userrights the way you like. And if you then forget to again remove the line from LocalSettings.php, then every user can assign user rights. So: Remove that line again!
