[Mediawiki-l] Limit acces to custom namespace (wgNamespaceProtection)

Hi,

I am really confused about the usage of the 1.10 $wgNamespaceProtection feature.

I like to limit access to a custom namespace to a defined user group.

Here is what I added to the LocalSettings.php:

// Add Custom Namespace $wgExtraNamespaces[110] = "NewNameSpace";

//Add User Group $wgGroupPermissions['NewUserGroup']['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['NewUserGroup' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['NewUserGroup' ]['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['NewUserGroup' ]['createpage'] = true;

// Limit Access to Namespace by utilising $wgNamespaceProtection

$wgNamespaceProtection[110] = array('NewUserGroup');

Then I assigned NewUserGroup attributes to a test user. Unfortunately it did not work. In fact no user is allowed to edit articles in the namespace.

But by adding

$wgNamespaceProtection[110] = array('sysop');

to the LocalSettings.php the namespace becomes editable for administrators.

Do you have any hint what is wrong with the above mentioned procedure?

Kind regards Albert Cremer
