The first post I saw said you wanted to create passwords for people. Then I saw something about registration. PmWiki out-of-the-box does not have this CMS-like registration feature. If you want this to be a site where the general public can just register, login, and edit, then you may want to look at AuthUserDBase again -- or ZAP as Ben suggested. Right now PmWiki isn't handling this type of functionality, but it probably will very soon. If you have a limited number of people and you know who they are, you may want to use the built-in AuthUser. If you think people in the community in question are trustworthy, it's only the vandals and brigands you want to keep out, I'd say a one-password site often works just fine. I have open-edit websites that, with sufficient protections, are not too much of a support nightmare. I don't even get break-ins weekly at the moment. > 3.

That can be done in Site.AuthUser > But how do I deal with the folks in #2? I'd say one password is probably sufficient.
