- by default, any user can read
members of AdminGroup have all rights, regardless of ACLs
members of EditorsGroup have all rights, unless a page is protected by an ACL
any user may create an account [:UserPreferences: here]
any member of EditorsGroup can add accounts to this group, hence granting write access
- to protect a page, add a line like this at the top:
#acl YourName:read,write,delete,revert,admin All:read
you can do that unless the page is already protected, and you don't have admin rights
Please don't be too restrictive. After all, there's the revert action available, and you can subscribe to email notifications for your pages to get informed when they are changed.
However, do not make pages writable for anonymous users. The spammers are out there.
