Oh. Administrators can already define custom authorization levels.
(that's been in PmWiki since v0.3 :-).
The base pmwiki.php script defines only 'read', 'edit', and 'attr'
authorization levels. If scripts/upload.php is load, then that
adds an 'upload' level.
The PmWiki core doesn't define a 'delete' authorization level,
but it can be added by a recipe or local customization.
Essentially, for an administrator or recipe to add a new
'xyz' authorization level, they simply do:
$DefaultPasswords['xyz'] = crypt('xyzpassword');
$PageAttributes['passwdxyz'] = 'Set new xyz password:';
This tells PmWiki there's an 'xyz' authorization level, and
to display a field for it in the ?action=attr form.
This is also described at the bottom of the PasswordsAdmin
page (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin).
Is that what you were looking for...?
