Understanding Groups
Tiki uses "groups" to categorize different user types. Initially, there are the following user groups:
- Admins: Users with administrator access.
- Anonymous: Public users who are not logged in.
- Registered: Registered users who are logged in.
When you successfully completed the registration process, your user name was automatically added to the Registered group.
Groups allow you to assign different permissions to different users. As administrator, you can create new groups and then assign privileges to those groups. For example, if you want to give users the ability to monitor your Tiki forums (which means give them more capability than just add to the forums), you would:
- Create a new group named Forum Admins for example.
- Grant the forum administrator permissions to this group.
Note
Tiki's permissions will be covered later, in the Using Permissions section. - Assign the users to this new group.
