Security

How it Works

• Security is controlled through namespaces and user groups. Namespaces are groups of pages and user groups are groups of people. These things get a bit more complex but for our purposes that's enough.
• Currently we have 3 important user groups
  • Highrest, Medrest, and Fac these stand for high restriction, medium restriction and facilitators.
  • Users marked as high restriction or Highrest will only be allowed to read pages in the Stakeholder KBs.
  • Users marked medium restriction or Medrest will be allowed to edit and create pages in the Stakeholder KBs.
  • People marked as Fac will be allowed read and write permissions in the the Internal KB as well as the Stakeholder KBs.
• Pages with the prefix "Facilitators" in the title helps you know that text placed her will not be seen by Stakeholders
  • Facilitators have read/write/edit stakeholder pages because part of there job is to publish content to the Stakeholder pages.
• We use "namespaces" as the way to group pages for a specific knowledge base such as OnTrackMississippi Stakeholders KB. In this example all pages able to be seen by OTM stakeholders will be in a namespace OTMStakeholders.
