Yes I was right (-:

Can you give an example?
Can I do s'thing like $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = '@students, @teachters';

That would be nice.

Thanks for the encouragment.
I am afraid I have to ask more, although I prefere to find it in the
pmwiki-documentation and not bother this list with my "disknowledge".

In my farmconfig.php I set admin and attr only accessible to an admin password.

In the config.php of this wiki I set:
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = 'id:*';
$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = 'id:*';

And now I put in Site.AuthUser:
@students: test, det, frans (or could that also be @teacher?)
@teachter: det, frans
(also passwords are set for each user)
Now when I set Main.GroupAttributes to edit and upload @teachter, it
should work I hoped. But only admin can edit on Main. I'm confused
.....
On the other hand it seems to work for the Group PWST.

Another thing with action=logout. On the PWST.SideBar it seems it
doesn't work. And on Site.SideBar, the same link does log out
(http://pws.fali.nl/index.php/Main/HomePage?action=Logout). What's the
difference?
