5
6 * Click on the "Administration" link at the top right of your page
7 * Click on the "Rights" button

9 1.1 Setting rights for groups

14
15 * When all checkboxes are empty, everybody can do everything
16 * Once you give a right to an user or a group, everybody else is disallowed this right if their checkbox is empty
