Revision approval, Staging Approving Group Category Permissions

This is new documentation that needs review.

Should be moved to http://profiles.tiki.org

Tip: if you've still running TikiWiki2.0 and see only two permissions to assign in the permission drop-down menu of the categories, just clear /temp/cache on tiki-admin_system.php.


For more information see the thread Categories and Permissions.

In TikiWiki2.1 there are directly the four needed categories to select.


Example for a staging and approval configuration


For documentation about staging and approval see :
Wiki Page Staging and Approval.

For an other example see comment to this page.

If configuration of staging and approval appears not to work, try clearing cache in System Admin between steps
