The GlobalUserrights extension enables global user groups and allows easy management of them via Special:GlobalUserrights. Global group changes are logged to Special:Log/gblrights (same place CentralAuth would log them). This extension is used in conjunction with $wgSharedDB .
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
GlobalUserrights
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/GlobalUserrights - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'GlobalUserrights' );
- Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
- Make sure
global_user_groups
is a shared table by adding it to $wgSharedTables in LocalSettings.php - e.g.$wgSharedTables[] = 'global_user_groups';
- Be sure to give the
userrights-global
right to users who need access to Special:GlobalUserRights; by default thestaff
group has this user right. If you would want to allow administrators to access the special page, you could add the following to the configuration file:$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['userrights-global'] = true;
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage
edit- Go to Special:GlobalUserrights
- Enter in the user name of the user whose global rights you want to change.
- Use the interface to add or remove global groups to/from the user and save.
