Issue/Request:

Hello

We would like to set up a wiki for our research group to exchange information on everyday research issues. We were wondering if YaleSites would be suitable solution for that.

As discussed in this Forum Question, wikis seem to be feasible, but we would require restricted access to the members of our research group. Is it possible to give access / permissions to individuals or groups of users?

Thanks, Niko

Hi Niko,

What Josue said in the forum response you linked is accurate—that’s something that can easily be built out in drupal. You can restrict content on a Yalesite according to the user’s role using a module called Content Access.

Content Access lets you restrict access to specific content types, or on an item-by-item basis. If you also create custom user roles for your authenticated users, this module allows for sophisticated control over which users can view or modify a given piece of content.
