For example, the AdminGroup is a set of users that can make administrative changes and see privileged information. Users with read-only access would not be among the members of this group. Any user can make a group. To do that, simply create a wiki page whose name ends in "Group" - e.g., ArtsFriendsGroup.

How to Make a Wiki Group
A user group is a set of wiki users that share certain rights. For example, the AdminGroup is a set of users that can make administrative changes and see privileged information. Users with read-only access would not be among the members of this group. Any user can make a group. To do that, simply create a wiki page whose name ends in "Group" - e.g., ArtsFriendsGroup. Then in that page, create a list where all top-level items are the user names of people who are in the group:
#acl Art:read,write,admin,delete,revert * Art * Homer Simpson * Magilla Gorilla * Bobby Brady
In the future, you can add or remove members as needed. Make sure that when you create the list that there is only a single space before each asterisk. You'd most likely want to put an acl at the beginning of the page to restrict who can edit the list. In this example, only user Art can modify the ArtsFriendsGroup group.
Admin notes
The Admin Group is listed in the AdminGroup page. If you would like to be added to the Admin Group please contact one of the people already in the group.
Note on adding new people: In order to add a login name to the Admin Group simply add them as a list item to the AdminGroup page. There must be a single space before and after the asterisk.
