ConfigurationEdit
This extension comes with an extra user right called "purge" to allow fine grained control of its usage. By default it is assigned to the "user" user group, i.e. to all users with an account who are logged in. In case you would like to also assign it to anonymous users for them to make use of the cache purging functionality without the need of a post add the following code to your "LocalSettings.php" file right after invoking this extension:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['purge'] = true;
Revoking the permission for the "user" user group and granting it at the same time only to the "sysop" user group may be done by adding the following two lines:
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['purge'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['purge'] = true;
