Wiki lets you decide the restrictions to apply on a wiki or a page and to specific users, groups or memberships. So, there are two levels of permissions in Wiki:
The Page Permissions allows you to set the View and Edit permissions for a specific Wiki page.
Open a Wiki page that you want to set the permissions.
Click More and select Page Permissions from the drop-down menu.
The Page Permissions form appears.
Pages are viewable/editable according to the Wiki permission. On each page, a user with the Admin Pages permission will be able to override the view and edit permissions on a specific page.
A Page Permissions action appears in the page action menu when the user has the Admin Pages permission.
You can add and delete the View Pages Permission or the Edit Pages Permission for the page. Do the same as Adding Wiki permissions and Deleting Wiki permissions.
Note
When ticking any permissions above, if you select a group with the * membership, this permission will be grated to all users of that group, regardless of their membership role.
All Page Permissions are restricted to a specific page, therefore any changes made on the page's permissions will not affect both its children and parents.
Wiki permissions determine which actions a user can perform. A permission can be assigned to any users, groups or memberships.
To change the Wiki permissions, click and select Wiki Settings from the drop-down list. Select the Permission tab in the Wiki Settings page.
There are some permissions on a Wiki as follows:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| View Pages | Specifies who can view and watch pages of this Wiki, its attachments and history. |
| Edit Pages | Specifies who can edit pages of this Wiki. |
| Admin Pages | Specifies who have the administration rights on pages of this Wiki. |
| Admin Wiki | Specifies who can administrate the Wiki permissions and settings. |
In the Permission tab, you can:

Note
When ticking any permissions above, if you select a group with the * membership, this permission will be granted to all users of that group, regardless of their membership role.
