Reading and commenting on the wiki

You can allow all or specific users to read and comment on wiki documents. Access control is handled through roles and their permissions, which are granted to users for workspaces.

A typical use case for a wiki is that there are few authors and many readers. To make wiki documents available to everyone, including users who do not have a user account in the system, you should keep the following in mind:

• There must be a user named “guest”.

• You must enable “Automatically sign in as guest” in the system administration.

• You must define a role with the “read any” permission.

• Restrict the item types accessible through this role to the types used in the wiki (e.g. document folder, document, document section). Otherwise, the “guest” user could see all items in that workspace, not just wiki documents.

• You must assign this role to the “guest” user for the workspaces that contain the publicly accessible wiki.

Users known to the system can comment on entire documents or specific document sections via the context menu on the relevant node in the left navigation tree.
