To do so, click the pencil icon in the top navigation bar.Īt the edit screen, the top nav bar is replaced by a WYSIWIG editor for managing the page. Here, you’ll see the permissions previously configured as well as options to configure who can comment on articles (nobody disables comments completely) in the wiki and whether comments require approval (moderation).Ĭlick on Save. Here, you will have the previous two options as well as the ability to upload a banner (which should be 62 pixels high) and background for each wiki.Ĭlick on Permissions. Here, you’ll see the previously entered name and description as well as options to enable Calendar (only available if Calendar Server is running on the server) and Blog, which enables a blog service for the wiki (wiki administrators can post blog entries to the wiki). Click on the cog-wheel icon and then Wiki Settings… to bring up the Wiki Settings page. To do so, click on it from the list of available wikis. Once you’ve created your first wiki, let’s edit it and customize the content. Here, you can click on Go to Wiki button. Once the setup is finished, you’ll see the Setup complete modal. Choose the appropriate appearance for your wiki (again, you can always change this later) and then click on the Create button. Note: You don’t have to get this perfect now as you can always edit these later.Īt the Set Appearance screen, you can choose an icon for the wiki (shown in the wiki list and when you open the wiki) as well as a color scheme for the wiki. Once you’ve given the appropriate permissions, click on Continue. There is a group for All logged in users, which includes every user with access to the server and another for All unauthorized users, which includes guests to the server. Here, you’ll have the options for Read & Write (users can view and edit pages in the wiki), Read only (users can only view the contents of your pages) and No access (users have no access to the wiki).

To do so, click on the plus sign (“+”) icon on the web page and at the resultant screen, click on New Wiki.Īt the “Create a new wiki” prompt, provide a name for the wiki and a brief description for it.Īt the Set permissions screen, enter each user or group to provide access to edit and view wiki pages. That’s because one of the wikis has permissions that allow “All unauthenticated users” access to the wiki, which we’ll describe shortly. The first thing most administrators will do is create a wiki. Note that the previous screen showed one wiki and now we see two. Here, click on the Log in button and enter a user with access to the server, preferably one who can create wikis.Īt the Wikis page, you will then see a list of all wikis you have access to. Once the service starts, click on the View Wiki link in the Wiki workspace in Server app. We’re going to check the box for “Enable WebDAV access to Wiki files” and then click the ON button. To be clear, this option doesn’t provide access to the user documents, but does provide access to the wiki documents. When you enable this option, you can connect to a server from macOS or iOS via WebDAV and access files in each wikis document repository. The other option available is the handy dandy WebDAV interface to the wikis. Once a wiki is created, pages inside the wiki can still be created by non-wiki creators. In a school I would imagine that only teachers or IT staff would be able to create wikis. Click on OK when all users and groups that can create wikis are added. If only some users can create new wikis, use the plus sign (“+”) at the Wiki Creators screen to add users and/or groups to the list of users that can create wikis. Use the “Wikis can be created by” drop-down list to select “all users” if anyone with an account on the server should be able to create a wiki or “only some users” to bring up the Wiki Creators screen. The first is to select who is able to create wikis. To enable the service, open the Server app and click on Wiki in the list of SERVICES in the List Pane. One should always have good working directory services and host names, still… This one isn’t heavily dependent on host names (other than being able to access the server from a browser) or directory services (other than being able to authenticate users, but local accounts are perfectly functional) and it doesn’t require the Websites service to be running as well.

To get started with the Wiki service, first turn it on. I reference file services with WebDAV because it is a very nice integration piece that I think a lot of people will find pretty beneficial. This article is about using the wiki service in macOS Server 5.4 (the Apple Server app running on 10.13/High Sierra). A wiki is a repository of dynamically created and managed content, or content created or edited by multiple users collaboratively.
