3 XWiki Enterprise lets you set user rights at the wiki, space and page level. This means that you can control exactly which users are allowed to perform which actions (edit, view or comment on a page):
4
5 * Click on the "Wiki" menu located in the top left side of your page, then click "Administer Wiki"
6 * Click on the "Rights" button

10 * **Registration: who should be allowed to create new user accounts?**
11 ** Open: admins, registered users and unregistered users can create a new account
12 ** Closed: admins and registered users only can create a new account

14 * **View & edition: who should be allowed to view, comment and edit wiki pages?**
15 ** Editable: admins, registered users and unregistered users can view, comment and edit pages
