In LocalSettings.php
We have restricted access to read only for all users, and you must have an account to edit. There are four types of account built into mediawiki (other than just user):
- Bot

IntraACL
Our next level of security is based on Intra ACL. We use override permissions.
The main groups are:
- Researchers
- Affiliates
- Administrators
Individual affiliates then have their own groups.
For the most part, we restrict on category as follows:
- Category:McNair Projects - Researchers (only project pages themselves)
- Category:Internal - Researchers (all internal content, other than project pages and admin pages)
- Category:McNair Admin - Researchers (admin pages!)
- Category:McNair Affiliates - Researchers and Affiliates
