Hello,
I wanted to make a usergroup called 'visitor' so that users who are part of this group can log in but are not allowed to edit or create pages.
Therefore i specified the necessary settings in localsettings.php: $wgGroupPermissions['visitor']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['visitor']['createpage'] = false;
AND I assigned a user to this usergroup 'visitor' via special:userrights.
In special:listusers, the usergroup is mentioned behind the user's name as "(visitor)", but when i log in to test what the user is able to edit, the user can still edit pages and create new pages. I cleared cookies, reloaded the page etc but no help.
Do i overlook something crucial or is someone familiar with this problem?
thanks in advance!

All users belong to the implicit "user" group which has edit permissions by default. In order to achieve what you want, you'd be better off creating a group with edit permissions, denying those to all normal users, and then explicitly specifying your editors by adding them to the group.
