# ThurWiki administration – rights, users, access, API > ThurWiki administration for people who know Confluence: nine rights across three levels, groups, SSO, import, access, statistics, an API with 36 endpoints. Quelle: https://thurwiki.ch/en/administration.html Anbieter: ThurData GmbH, Siegershausen, Schweiz Sprache: Deutsch (Schweiz) --- - [ThurWiki](https://thurwiki.ch/en/index.html) - Administration # Administration without a marketplace and without an upgrade weekend. Spaces, users, groups, rights, templates, access: all in one place, with a question mark next to every field. Operation, backup and updates are ThurData's job. Macros and connectors are part of the product and are tested again with every update. ## The administration. *Bild: Overview of the wiki administration with tiles* ### One overview Spaces, users, groups, templates, credentials, typography, import, statistics, security: one tile each, showing where things stand. *Bild: Rights matrix of a space* ### Rights as a matrix Rows for groups and users, columns for the nine rights. What stands there applies. The page can refine it. *Bild: Group administration* ### Groups instead of people "Administration may read" is one row. With individuals it would be twenty rows, and every new arrival would need somebody to add one. *Bild: Wiki statistics with a chart* ### Statistics Pages, versions, attachments, active users, changes per space. For the annual report, and for the question of which space is quietly being abandoned. ## Nine rights, three levels, one rule. Inherited from the user through the space down to the page; the finer level wins. Whoever may write may read and suggest; whoever may not read may do nothing at all. **Read** See the page **Comment** Write comments **Suggest** Submit changes for somebody to approve **Create pages** Make new pages **Write** Change existing pages **Delete pages** Move them to the recycle bin **Review** Approve or reject suggestions **Administer** Manage the space **Wiki administrator** Everything, across the whole wiki **The rule you have to know:** if a permission row names the user, only what stands there applies. His general right no longer counts in that space. That way no inherited right quietly opens a page that was meant to be restricted. ## Users, SSO, templates, import. ### Users Create, set rights, lock. Credentials are shown once. When somebody leaves, the account is locked, not deleted. ### SSO (Enterprise package) OpenID Connect or SAML 2.0 with Entra ID, Google Workspace or your own login system. SSO grants no rights and creates no accounts; signing in with a password remains as a lifeline. ### Templates Meeting minutes, fault report, induction plan, project brief, per wiki or per space. The point: every new page has all its sections from the outset, including the ones people otherwise forget. ### Import Confluence Cloud, Server, Data Center, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, XWiki, BookStack, Notion, Markdown. Five steps, a preview, repeatable. ### Typography Fonts, sizes and colours per wiki, with a preview, without CSS. ### Access 41 connectors in one place: kind, address, key, test the connection. Secrets stored encrypted, never shown again. *Bild: The template administration with four templates: project brief, meeting minutes, induction plan and fault report, each with its purpose and scope.* **Templates** per wiki or space, taken over from an existing page. *Bild: The import wizard: on the left the page tree of the source, on the right the finished page with table and sections, below the two buttons to take it over.* **Import with a preview.** Page by page, or with all sub-pages. *Bild: The SSO settings.* **SSO** with a connection test. ## Anything the interface can do, a program can do. 36 endpoints, 257 actions, documented. Create pages from your monitoring, feed in reports, connect the wiki to a tool we have never heard of. Page content goes in and out as Markdown. - **An API key is a service account.** Rights like a person, membership in groups, nameable in the rules of a space, and in the log under its own name. - **As narrow as you cut it.** 64 characters, shown once, after that only as a checksum. It cannot sign in, cannot switch wiki, cannot manage keys.

Whoever may write may also read and suggest. The rule is deliberately strict: if a permission row names the user, only what stands there applies to him. **What happens when somebody leaves the company?** The wiki administrator locks the account in the wiki, even when sign-in runs over SSO; it is not deleted. The history stays traceable. The personal space remains, so that a successor can go through it; other users do not see it, administrators can reach it. **Is there an interface?** 36 endpoints, 257 actions, documented. The user interface uses the very same interface. An API key is a service account with rights of its own, can belong to groups and appears in the log under its own name. Page content goes in and out as Markdown. **Who runs and maintains the wiki?** ThurData. You manage spaces, users, rights and access; server, database, backups, updates and monitoring are ours, in our own data centre in Switzerland.
