ZAP does that exactly, and more... See the MemberMgmt recipe. Read the section on memberships esp. http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MemberMgmt > I don't mind which authentication plugin has this, tho obviously > AuthUser would be the simplest.. ZAP is built right onto AuthUser, so you can assign a member to a group (or allow them to pick their own groups) then when they login (they must use ZAP's login form) settings like @ChessClub for a read or edit passwd (on page attributes) goes immediately into effect. Standard PmWiki from that point on. > If this was added recently and I'm not aware of it, feel free to jump > up and down and toss the Fine manual at me... Let me know if you are interested in tinkering with this. I don't quite have all the docs up of the slew of new features I've added lately. Like MailMerge for members and email group to send stuff to all the members of a group, etc. But I gotta do it eventually so ask away, and I'll put stuff up as people need it. Of course, I'm still very interested in UserAuth2, so I'm still looking forward to a summary of what it can to that AuthUser can't.
