Yes, it is confusing and I went to this recently myself. in your site configuration file, wikiconfig.py, The only ACL that you should have (for this capability) are the two below. Before you put the acl's in place, you need to create the page AuthorizedGroup and put your wikiname in there. This will make you a member of the authorized group and able to edit that page after the ACLs are put in place. acl_rights_default = u"All:read" acl_rights_before = u"AuthorizedGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert" if you wanted to make things a little more complicated and possibly secure, it should be possible to put in a page specific acl preventing anyone from reading "authorize groups" unless they are a member of the authorized group page and anyone from writing unless they are you. I would love to see if this kind of functionality would work but I don't have the time to play around with it (currently beating my head against flash memory and grub problems). So if you come up with a solution, feel free to e-mail me directly or if you have any other questions, also, feel free to send me mail. Might not know the answer but at least we can commiserate. :-) ---eric -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
