The PagePermissions extension provides per page access based on default / custom roles set by the wiki administrator. It allows those with the pagepermissions right (administrators by default) to use a wizard-like interface where they could add the list of usernames for each role specified in the configuration.

This extension is based in part on the UserProtect extension.

Features

  • Stores its data in the MediaWiki database.
  • Doesn’t disable caching.
  • Has a minimalist interface
  • Adds and removes rights on the fly.
  • Overrides the built-in core per-group protection system with finer per-user protection.

Usage

A user with the pagepermissions right is provided with the "Page Permissions" item in the page actions menu. Click it to add or remove allowed restrictions to the current page on per-user basis. Just start typing user names in the appropriate right field seperated by comma (,). Each field allows multiple values. Once you are done, submit the form.

Installation

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called PagePermissions in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'PagePermissions' );
  • Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
  • Configure as required.
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
