Help in the privilegie management

Hello,

I'm Using the UMEduWiki package for a MediaWiki page. In the Access 
control panel extension. The interface works perfectly but, for 
example, I have two groups, A and B, the group A can only read and 
edit group A, the same to group B, apparently works but when I enter 
in the page A with the user B, the user B have normal access to the 
page A, so I think that can be a default privilege of the Wiki, but 
I'm not sure. I don't know if I made myself clear...


Thanks for the help!

Very sorry for not noticing your post earlier. What matters is that the titles of your pages for which you want to control access are prefixed with the namespace ID. So suppose you have groups A and B, then your pages in group A should have page titles like "A:Page1", "A:Page2", etc. (replace the "Page1", "Page2" bits with your actual page titles, but make sure to keep the "A:" in place). The users in group B will then not be able to access these pages (assuming that your definition was that only group A has access to the pages of group A, or to be more precise, to the pages belonging to namespace A). See the updated documentation of this extension for more information.

Hi I am bit confused on this one because Panel does not really give you option of doing A:pageA In Access Control Panel you can just select group and their allowed action and pages they can perform these axtions on. So I selected groupA can edit pages of A and B can edit pages of B; but when I login as A and A can still edit pages of B. Following is snap of (show existing Privileges:

Group(s) 1card can edit the pages of group 1card

Group(s) 1card can edit the pages of group 1card_talk

Group(s) Bookstore can edit the pages of group Bookstore

Group(s) Bookstore can edit the pages of group Bookstore_talk

Group(s) DBA can edit the pages of group DBA

Group(s) DBA can edit the pages of group DBA_talk

The access control extension is designed for coarse-grained access control, i.e. to control entire groups of pages, not individual pages. If you need to control individual pages then I suggest you look at other extensions.

If a member of group A is able to edit pages of group B then there should be somewhere a privilege setting giving group A edit access to pages of group B. Please check the entire list of privileges for all settings involving A and B. Also make sure that namespaces A and B actually exist.
