Setting up a whitelist

Hi Werdna, just to make sure on how to set up a whitelist:

I will have to insert

The allowed values for this property are:
* [[Allows value::User:Werdna]]
* [[Allows value::User:Kghbln]]

on page [[Property:Editable by]] to provide edit rights to these two users for the pages containing the property [[Editable by::whitelist]].

Cheers

My understanding is that the whitelist should be on the page that one is protecting (or included into it, in a template). So you'd have


[[Editable by::whitelist]]
[[Editable by user::User:Werdna]]
[[Editable by user::User:Kghbln]]

I don't think setting these on the property itself does anything.

Heiya Samwilson, thank you for your reply. I just tried your approach with success. I totally misunderstood the instructions provided. I did not grasp that the so called "main" property with one of its values public/users/whitelist is indeed a kind of "parameter" property indicating the contents of the e.g. whitelist

[[Editable by::whitelist]]

like

[[Editable by group::trusted users]]
[[Editable by user::User:Kghbln]]

etc.

In case you do not set this "parameter" property one will add groups or users without any result. This is what I have done. Admittedly I would never have guessed this. Do not ask me why. O_o Thank you for helping me out on this one. :) Cheers
