Thread:Project:Support desk/How to allow a few users to edit some pages?/reply

Hi!

You can use an extension like "Lockdown" or you could give permissions per namespace: Put all these pages in one namespace and only give a special user groups rights to edit this namespace. However, personally I do not like these ideas: What if you do not want to move the pages? This is not ideal.

I would make the few selected users members of a special group and only give this group rights to edit the pages. You can for example protect the pages and put the users in a usergroup, which is allowed to edit protected pages. E.g. MediaWiki already comes with the administrator group, which has these rights - but you can also create another usergroup as you wish.
