Add groups
Topic: create groups of users to share page permissions.
1. Click Add/Manage Groups from JotSpot Actions in the More actions menu:
2. Enter the name of the new group and click Create (here, BedrockLtd). We do not yet show any groups already defined as Current Groups:
3. Enter a description for the group. Click Choices to pick from a list of all named users for this wiki and click Save to make your group permanent:
The screen shot above displays the results of choosing these three registered users from the UserChooser list and clicking its Add button:
Note: you can add as many users at one time as you would like. If you already know the names you want to add, you can add them directly to the New Group page without browsing the UserChooser list. Put bars (|) between each name as shown in the screen shot.
4. Your group is displayed on a wiki page with the page title of the group (in this case, BedrockLtd):
Note: JotSpot created WikiWord placeholder links for these registered users. It happens they do not yet have saved pages in this wiki. If they did, the links would be blue.
5. Repeating Step 1 above now displays this Group Management page:
The Administrator of a wiki always has authority to add new groups. You are the Administrator of any wiki you have created in JotSpot.
If you are a registered user of a wiki, an Administrator may give you permission to add new groups. This is done the same way that any page permission to create new subpages is added. Each new user added generates a subpage from the _Admin page path.
