As I understand it, each user and group is actually a page text var, which means they have to be in the first column of the line, and no spaces, etc., followed by a colon (:).

Most definitely the quck start guide was a huge help. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
