Yep, that'll be the one.
Thanks.
User groups (and thus rights assignments) areseparate in each database, so you can manually put users into a privileged group to get read access on the other one.
Something I am not getting is how many databases are involved. If I have 2 databases and a database for shared users, is that 3, or 2 (one of which contains the user registration info)?
Either way; you could keep the active user table in one of the wikis' DBs or elsewhere.
I am also not clear how much trying it out I can do without making a big mess. Any words of wisdom about that?
Back up regularly and do your experimenting on an offline test copy.
