GroupManager allows to create new groups, and to edit and delete existing groups.
This functionality is now integrated in Extension:PermissionManager.
Usage / Features
[edit]Using the group concept, you can soften the wiki principle to work with a more granular permissions model. Using groups, administrators can assign different permissions to users. For example, a group can have read permissions, but no edit permissions. Use the group concept wisely, since otherwise the cooperative dynamic suffers.
With the page Special:GroupManager, you can:
- create groups
- edit groups
- delete groups (system groups cannot be deleted or edited)
Users are assigned to groups in the User manager. Permissions are assigned to groups in the PermissionManager.
