Wiki Permissions
Adding Users to Wiki
Go to Wiki -> Settings -> Permissions
If your wiki is private, click on Actions and change to custom permission. Click on Add User button.
As an authorized wiki owner or administrator you can add
- Individual users - You can directly add the E-Mail IDs of the users you want to add. Also, you can select the users from the contact list.
- Group Users - You can share your wiki pages to multiple groups. From the group list, select the groups you want to add. You can create your groups from the contact list
- Organization Users - This option is available for enterprises that have bought Zoho Business. As part of Zoho Business, wiki access will be provided for all the organization users or for select organization users.
- Public - Everybody can now access the wiki pages.
Note: Public option will be available only to the paid account. You should upgrade your account to share the wiki with Public users.

Adding Group Users

Next, you can assign custom permissions when a user gets added to a particular group like
- Reading
- Editing
- Deleting
- Posting Comments
- Creating Pages
Set Workspace / Page level permissions
a. Workspace level Permissions
We have options to define workspace permissions at two levels
- Set Parent Wiki permissions itself as workspace permissions
- Set Custom permissions for a particular workspace
b. Page level Permissions
We have options to define page permissions at two levels
- Set Parent Wiki permissions itself as page permissions
- Set Parent Workspace permissions itself as page permissions
- Set Custom permissions for a particular page
Content copying
While some of us believe in freeware and the spirit of wiki, where its all about sharing and collaboration, others might want to keep some information private. In which case, you can use the checkbox to indicate your preference with regards to content copying.
I've set up a test user with View, Add & Show Pages permission only. When I log in as that test user, I get an error message saying that the root page of the wiki "is not accessible by you" and then gives a list of "Pages allowed to View" which are all the pages which hang off the root page.
What is going on?
The permissions aspect is an important part of our requirements, unless we can understand it properly this will be a significant barrier to us adopting Zoho Wiki. So, I'd be very grateful for your assistance.
Thank you,
