Hello,
I was wondering if there is any plugin for multi-user privilege.
Thanks.

Yes. Do a search for Jed Carty's "Bob" configuations.

I think you may need to explain more what you are after. The only similtaniouse user solution is a server solution on bob or bobexe however the privilege side is I believe simple.

Are you talking read only or also multiuser edits, do you want such edits only for each user or does everyone need to see the edits of others....

There are multiple ways to handle this, my preferred way still under design is serial editors. One at a time. You can force this on SharePoint.

the ability to access the wiki in the first place can depend on your hosts authentication.

Regards
Tony

I'm talking about read only.
I'd like to share tiddlywiki on a network folder and only 1 user need to be able to edit the wiki and other user only to read.

thanks in advance.

Hi Peter,

Here's a quick and dirty solution for you. Attached are two json files:
  • Hide controls
  • Show controls
Drag hide controls onto your wiki (import the file). This will remove all tiddler control buttons and will essentially make your wiki read only.

To bring back controls, drag the show controls file onto your wiki. This restores your buttons and enables edits.

In the same way, you can remove/show individual buttons 'non-destructively' through CSS, if that's the route you wish to take.

There are many other ways to control access levels but this is probably the simplest (and one that does not require building a toggle/UI from scratch).

Regards,
Hubert
Hide controls.json
Show controls.json

The core supports that configuration. First set up user accounts in a csv file as described here: https://tiddlywiki.com/#WebServer%20Parameter%3A%20credentials

tiddlywiki mywikifolder --listen credentials=myusers.csv "readers=(anon)" writers=myusername

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Peter,

With a network location, if you can flag it read only or be the only one with write permissions they can never save over your network wiki, though they can make copies elsewhere. If they know how and can reverse this read only status of course the can save but in many cases on out LAN we can assume people act appropriately.

Many of the suggestions shared here with are also about making it look read only.

If you host it on a apache server etc... and unless you give someone the tw-received passcode they can't save it.

Any Tiddlywiki that is accessible is multi-user read only, and with the local storage plugin you can even let them make changes for themself (in browser as least temporarily), looking as if they can save but they are not changing your server copy.

Regards
Tony
