every PLAYER I add can edit everything WHY?

Abaddon

I am adding the players in my party and I make sure I don't select them as co-DM, but as each log-in to this site they all can edit everything. What setting to I have wrong?

FemmeLegion

When I was playing around with a test campaign, I found that players added to it could modify any NPCs created after they were added to the game.

I am not entirely sure that there *is* a setting to "fix" that. Back when I was starting out on the Portal and a much heavier user of the forums, I know a lot of GMs were *begging* for ideas on how to get their players to do *more* editing - take some of the workload of keeping the site current as they discover new things.

As far as I know, players can edit everything except stuff you have marked as GM only.

Maybe this is a cry for a 'protect page' feature?

Generally, I think the idea is these are your friends, so they're not going to vandalize your page.

JimTriche

While that is true, nothing hurts more than doing a crapton of work without using the backup feature, only to find out one of your friends has practiced the art of ineptitude and blanked the whole page.

This has happened....

These are potentially two different issues. Sure, you don't want people (players) "vandalizing" your wiki. And I agree with Hardhead, that shouldn't happen. Ever.

Where this could be construed as a feature request is in JimTriche's case of a "blanked" wiki page: other wikis with which I've come into contact have a page history. So blanking a page is a non-issue. It also makes it easy to follow the stream that is a dynamically growing wiki. I wish OP had histories for the wiki pages. In order to get around this, I personally keep all my pages as text files offline and use an update log (that must be completed manually) after each update. "Example":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/new-campaign/wikis/wiki-update-log#contents. Incrementally, it is some work. But it is less work than rebuilding pages from scratch, and guarantees me no loss of content.

Best,
