--- Comment #4 from Mark A. Hershberger <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) from comment #1) > Why is editmyoptions not being given to new users? It should be given to all > users with an account. I would agree except that seems to ignore the fact that the "editmyoptions" permission exists. In any case, this is not a wiki I set up. I was helping someone on the Support Desk figure out why they couldn't edit their preferences. To be clear, their LocalSettings.php contains the following line: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false; It looks like the interpretation of permissions changed between 1.22 and 1.23 because, when I take a new installation of MW 1.22 and 1.23, the permissions for 'editmyoptions' don't change. Instead, they remain as if they were the following: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = false; In the meantime, 'edit' is set to true for both '*' and 'user'. Now that I look at this, I think what the person needs to do in 1.23 is $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editmyoptions'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editmyoptions'] = true; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
