bitweavers permissioning system is a granular group permissioning system. this means that you can create groups, which have a set of permissions each and you can assign users to one or more of these groups.

Intro

for instance, you can create a group of users, who have a set of permissions that allows them to edit, submit and approve articles. yet another group may have the permissions to edit wiki pages and wiki books. it is now possible to assign users to the article editors and / or the wiki editors depedning on your needs. beginning with version 2, it's even possible to allow users to pick the groups they want to be part of (if your setup allows them to).

Groups

you can find the group setup page at my.domain.com/users/admin/edit_group.php. this page lists all available groups, some of their settings and outlines all permissions of each group. to edit a given group, click the edit icon.

once in the edit screen, you can modify group settings and assign / remove individual permissions that apply to the given group. the above screencast illustrates how you can add the permission to remove wiki pages to registered users.

Assigning users to groups

here is a short screencast of how to manually add a new user and assigning the editor group to that user.

Levels

taken from inline help:
Levels can be used to group certain permissions and thus easily assign a set of permissions to a group. Assinging a permission to a level has no outcome on the users or groups. It's merely a way to organise permissions.
