Hello,

As the subject line suggests, I, humbly, submit a Swiki feature request.

Scenario: I am creating several project Swikis that I need to be read-only
except for registered users (people with username:pasword combos).
Registered users will be able to create and edit both text- and
project-based pages.

Problem: As it stands, if I select "Read Only" as "the security level
without user identification" (under "Default Privileges" in a Swiki's
security settings), identified users can edit and save text pages but not
project pages. I know that a possible workaround is to "Allow All" in the
"Default Privileges," and simply request that registered users "Lock" pages
and projects, but this is unreliable as a Swiki-wide solution.

Feature Request: I ask that, in the next version of Swiki, the ability to
edit and save projects also be unlocked once a user identifies him/herself.
One possible solution would be to request a username:password when a user
clicks "Save," similar to what happens when a user selects "Edit" on a text
page of a read-only Swiki.

Thanks,

John
