Hi Brian,
Txs for being persistent !
I /hate/ walking away from something that ought to work, even if I can't
figure out how to fix it. I am pleased you don't think I was making too
much of a fuss.
Apparently I made an error when building the new Gardener group.
Adding members to the group needs to be done by separating the names with a
carriage return. (as indicated in the text)
However, I added the members by separating them with a comma.
Actually, I copied the Admin group when creating the Gardener group. (the
list contains COMMA's)
Unfortunately, JSPWiki doesn't throw an error for this incorrect entry.
I did fix the group now.
Please try again, you should be ok to edit pages with the GARDENER ACL.
Also you should be able to modify the GARDENER group.
That worked perfectly, Dirk!
After logging on I displayed my profile and was pleased to see my Group
membership had changed from none to Gardener.
I then moused over the Edit option on the Getting Started page without
seeing the no entry sign. I went into the page editor and then cancelled
- simply because I am not sufficiently prepared to begin the
page-splitting work.
I am satisfied that I can now do the work I intended, so "the ball is
back in my court"!
Well done!
Brian
Best regards,
dirk

Hi Brian,

However, I am puzzled by the fact that "Edit" on both these pages
(between View and More) is still greyed-out. When I move my mouse over
the "Edit" widget, google chrome displays a No Entry sign.
How am I supposed to edit the Getting Started page? Am I just being
stupid?
As you are a member of the Gardener group, you should be able to edit
this page. (apparently this is not the case)
Make sure you are (still) logged in when trying to Edit the page.
If you still can't, you may want to check whether you are member of the
Gardener group. (maybe the username is incorrectly spelled?)
Thanks for your patience, Dirk.
I went through my investigation very carefully, but nothing changed.
However, I have discovered what might be an important clue.
1. I successfully logged on the the wiki with my case-sensitive userid
and current password.
2. Under my user details (top right corner) I displayed the groups...
BrianB is definitely the last entry in the Gardener group and you
performed the update.
3. The page source for Getting Started has [ALLOW edit Gardener] as
expected.
4. When I display my own user profile I see my Roles are "All,
authenticated".
5. However, my Groups field displays as "(none)". I cannot edit this
field and suspect it should contain the value Gardener.
6. With my ultra-paranoid hat on, I cleared my cookie on the Profile
page, then logged off. When I logged back on NOTHING had changed
(profile/group and edit no-entry sign).
7. I even tried it all again with firefox (instead of chrome), but
everything was exactly the same.
What do you think?
If it would help I could send you my password via a side channel and you
could try yourself.. I don't think it would be helpful to test with a
different user name.

As a member of the Gardener group, do I have the right to create new
pages on the production wiki?
Yes, you should be able create new pages.
If you do so, and want to restrict the EDIT permission, use the ALLOW
plugin.
Good luck,
dirk
