Thread:Project:Support desk/Small access restriction problem

Hi,

We're using Mediawiki in our company. A small division within our company wants to start using the wiki as well. I created a new instance for them, with it's own database. For access we're using Active Directory, which works perfectly. However, in our implementation of AD, the small division does not have it's own AD group, so granting access using group restrictions is not possible (unless we make changes to AD, of course, but believe me: that's a pain in the butt to accomplish that here...). The small division consists of 10 people. Is there a possibility to grant just these 10 people access to their wiki, but still use AD ? Or should I abandon AD, and create 10 users so they can login, and subsequently disable user registration ?

Please help. Thank you, Hans
