+====== Access Control Lists (ACL)s ======
 [[DokuWiki]] --- like most wikis --- is very open by default. Everyone is allowed to create, edit and delete pages. However sometimes it makes sense to restrict access to certain or all pages. This is when the //Access Control List// (ACL) comes into play. This page gives an overview of how ACLs work in DokuWiki and how they are configured.

 ACLs can be enabled in the [[installer]] and an initial ACL policy is set there as well. To manually enable ACLs, switch on the [[config:useacl]] option and create a copy of the example files ''conf/acl.auth.php.dist'' and ''conf/users.auth.php.dist''. Rename the files to ''conf/acl.auth.php'' and ''conf/users.auth.php'' respectively.

-There are a few more config options and features that relate to authentication, user registration and ACL setup. Please check their respective wiki pages to get more information:
-  * Config option [[config:useacl]] -- enable ACL usage
-  * Config option [[config:superuser]] -- setup superusers with ACL granting rights
-  * Config option [[config:openregister]] -- allows you to disable open registration
-  * Config option [[config:defaultgroup]] -- the default group to which new users are added
-  * [[plugin:usermanager|User Manager]] -- managing users
-  * [[auth|Authentication Backends]] -- identify users from different data sources
-  * [[faq:regdisable|FAQ: How to disable open user registration]]
-:!: **WARNING:** DokuWiki's ACL feature has been included for some time and should be pretty stable. However, if you are concerned about the risk of unauthorized users accessing information in your wiki, you should never put it on a computer accessible from the Internet.
