Description Victoria Harman 2008-07-24 15:14:21 UTC
I installed a copy of MediaWiki on my localhost with Apache - three versions.
Extensions installed are Makesysop, Centralauth and Edituser.

I made the following changes to my LocalSettings.php with regard to CentralAuth:
$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['centralauth-admin'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['globalgrouppermissions'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['globalgroupmembership'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['steward']['userrights-interwiki'] = true;

and tried to get Special:GlobalGroupPermissions to work, but it did not work, despite the fact I had set myself as a steward on the wiki.

How would I get this to work effectively??

I had a look at the steward handbook on Meta, but it didn't quite go as planned...

Only global stewards may edit global groups, as they have a global effect.

Duping to bug 17308, which is a request to change that behaviour.
