Multiple Wiki Administrators
Posted: Oct 15, 2008 6:05 AM
 

I've researched this for quite a few days and called Apple, but they don't have a solution unless I involve an engineer.

I need to have more than one person with the ability to modify a specific Wiki by changing templates, permanently deleting pages, etc., but I do NOT want them to be a system administrator on the server. The user has been imported from Active Directory to the only Apple server in my environment. It is the OD Master and it is operating in "Basic" configuration mode.

My first attempt to do this involved creating new group local to the server with the two users (imported from AD) I want to administer the Wiki in question. I then used Directory.app to try to make this newly created group the owner of the Wiki. Directory.app allows me to do this, but then when I check the Wiki (in Directory.app) it reports the owner as "unknown".

Has anyone successfully accomplished this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :).

We are trying to achieve the same, as yet without success. Our current, not very elegant solution is to create a dummy account in AD, assign that as the owner/admin of the wiki/blog and then that account is shared by those who should admin the wiki/blog (in addition ofcourse to their normal user logins).
