Extension talk:PermissionManager

Hello,

I'm rather amateur with this, so bare with me.

I extracted the tar and put it in the mediawiki/extensions folder.

Updated my LocalSettings.php with wfLoadExtensions( 'BlueSpiceGroupManager' )

However none of my sysop accounts can log in, I get:

Permission error

You do not have permission to read this page, for the following reason:

You are not allowed to execute the action you have requested.

So I'm thinking my account is part of some BlueSpice group which doesn't exist but is required for this extension.

Any help would be appreciated.

In my wiki, I am using extensions that bring their own permissions and I need to create roles or have direct access to set these permissions for groups. In fact, my previous configuration from BlueSpice 2 broke to some extent when updating.

How and where can I definde my own roles or set individual permissions?

Found the answer myself here:

sourceforge.net/p/bluespice/bugs/468/

Add the following Code to your LocalSettings.php to create a new role which you can then give to the desired user group(s):

$bsgPermissionConfig['yourpermission'] = array( 'type' => 'global', "roles" => [ 'role name for your permission' ] );

Can it be used to disallow public reading on some page from a specific namespace?

You can disallow reading of pages of a specific namespace. Setting reading rights per page is hardly supported by MediaWiki. Unfortunately. :-(

where do i find this extension.... the link does not work?

I found these Download is not working, but it is found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/bluespice/ - and the install instructions are here https://en.help.bluespice.com/wiki/Setup:Installation_Manual/Without_Installer - all very neat!

However it looks like you do not provide PM without all of the other stuff. While it looks very nice, I would prefer the parts in separate packages.

Looking at the setup, it also looks extremely easy to manage, but still i wonder if there is a way to scale down to those basic needs.. Permission, Namespace etc.
