    Resend invitation email?
    Hi!

    I would like a quick, easy way to resend the invitation email to users who have inadvertently deleted the one which is sent automatically when I first added their user name.

    Perhaps the "share this workspace" feature would accomplish this (?), but it seems to allow you to only set permissions as "writer".

    Thanks,

    Steven

    Still looking for user groups feature
    Hi!

    I'm still running into the problem I described last year, and would find it a great time-saver if pbworks could implement user groups:

    Is this being considered or worked on?

    Thanks!

    Feature Request: User Groups
    Hello!

    This is a repeat of a suggestion I made a couple of months ago--with some additional background.

    On our school wiki, there are certain pages which I would like teachers to be able to edit, but not students.

    I can use custom page security settings to set this up, but it rapidly becomes very cumbersome. With 30 staff members, that's a lot of clicking to set up each page. And when a new staff member arrives or a staff member leaves the school, I have to track down *all* previous custom security pages to make the updates.

    I could create a folder for "teacher but not student"-editable pages and put them all in there, but that would require a site-wide reorganization of pages which are currently spread across many folders. It would make the site organization less transparent and intuitive.

    It seems to me that a very flexible, convenient way to address these situations would be to allow for the creation of "usergroups". I could then create a "staff" usergroup (which would be relatively easy to keep up-to-date) and then assign the group, and specify its access level, to pages with custom security.

    I think that this would be an extremely useful feature for pbwiki to implement.

    Thanks,

    Steven

    How to add multiple users to a page's "custom security" settings?
    How do I add multiple users at once to the "Custom security..." settings for a page?

    Right now, it seems that I have add them one at at time--which is very tedious given a long list of users.

    At the very least, it would be helpful to be able to Ctrl-click multiple users to select them from the drop-down list.

    Perhaps what we really need is to be able to define "user groups" in pbwiki.

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    Cheers,

    Steven
