Giving a specific permission to a group that also has the 'protect' right automatically gives them the ability to protect the page to that level, with no way of changing that. However, with 'editprotected', having the 'protect' right doesn't help unless you specifically have the right for one or more levels. What I was trying to do was give (in this example) 'mygroup' rights to edit all pages except 'mylevel', but only be able to 'protect' pages to 'someotherlevel'. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
