[pmwiki-users] please help with passwords

[Petko Yotov]

Usually the Site wikigroup contains configurations, forms, pagelist and 
other templates, that are not private or sensitive, except possibly the 
page Site.AllRecentChanges.

In your case, the wiki is read-protected but different people with 
different permissions need to edit:

1. If the person can read the whole wiki, you can add the new password 
hash to the $DefaultPasswords['read'] array in config.php. This should 
make the pages in the Site group accessible to this person.

Otherwise:
2. You can set the read password for Site.GroupAttributes?action=attr to 
either @nopass (simpler), or to the password of the non-admin user (may 
be more complex to maintain if you add or change editors).

If Site.AllRecentChanges is sensitive, you could set its read password 
to @lock which would restrict it to the admin user.

P.S. Site.Popup-EditForm is not the standard edit form, probably enabled 
by a skin or a recipe.
