Controlling Access

  • We use Press Permit as the core Permission system and it has proven really good for all sites, so far.
    Looking at Wiki, we seem to not be able to control edits nor reads properly
    A) Read denied
    –>Error page where the editor is still open despite the message
    “Wiki page you are looking for does not exist. Feel free to create it yourself.”

    B) Restrict write
    –> The edit tab still visible and people can edit

    As Wikis are just another post typoe, I would really recommend to implement them as such, so that standard hooks for other security plugins still work.
    Referring to the membership plugin as the only supporting control plugin is not really user friendly, as we have already purchased a [allegedly] better one (see the rating comments).
    This might become a killer criteria of using this plugin (and the pro)

    thx

  • Hey there Shonu,

    Thanks for the suggestion, free version of the wikis is just to display how the plugin works in general, in premium version of the plugin there is an option that allows you to select “Who can edit wiki privileges?” based on user roles.

    The option can be found in Wiki -> Wiki Settings in premium version.

    Best regards,

    Based on role, but not by supplemental roles or even individuals as possible with PP Core already (rad access control, free).

    My point is, the granularity, that we loose for Wiki. In case we needed membership plugin, we would run two access control plugins, which will be surely not accepted.

    Let’s see.

    Hey again Shonu,

    I completely agree on that one, adding different levels of accessibility can be very usefull and I’ll definitely suggest that to our plugin developers so it will be considered to be added into future versions of the plugin.

    Thank you for your feedback ??

    Best regards,
    Bojan
