User self-registration

People can register themselves as users in the Daisy Wiki. By default, they get assigned the "guest" role. For the default ACL (access control list) that ships with Daisy, this means a registered user will still not be able to edit documents. However, the user will be able to subscribe to notification emails and to add comments to documents.

If you want self-registered users to have a different role(s) assigned after registration, you can configure this in the following file:

<wikidata directory>/daisy.xconf

In that file, search for the string UserRegistrar. On the next few lines you'll see this:

    <!-- The names of the roles to which the user should be assigned -->
    <roles>
      <role>guest</role>
    </roles>
    <!-- The default role for the user, should be one of those mentioned in the roles list. -->
    <defaultRole>guest</defaultRole>

which you can adjust according to your wishes.

To have this change take effect, you need to restart the Daisy Wiki.
