Subject: [Tools-team] wiki page permissions

Three wiki permissions questions.

(1)

I checked the Admin on the sidr wiki site and saw that Geoff Huston is listed as having Trac_Admin persmissions.

Geoff was co-chair, but has not been for awhile.  Is there a reason why he still has Trac_Admin permission?  Would he be notified if I removed that?

(2)

A list of attendees for an upcoming interim  meeting is being maintained on a page in the sidr wiki.  An inappropriate change was made to that page, which alerted me to the fact that the permissions were set a bit too broadly - anyone who was "authenticated" had wiki_modify permission.

There are pages in that wiki that I think would be appropriate for anyone to modify, and there are pages that only the chairs should modify (like the registered attendees).

But it looks like any change I make to one page is effective site-wide.

I tried setting the URLs in the Basic Settings to the specifc page, but that did not seem to help.

To ensure that changes to the attendee page are access controlled, I've had to remove modify permission for "authenticated" users for all pages.

That is not ideal.

If there is a way to make the permissions specific to a page, I'd appreciate a helpful hint.

I presume "authenticated" means that one has logged in with a tools site login account.  Who is allowed to get a login account on the tools site?
