Description Marco 27 2009-05-31 20:51:35 UTC
I've installed the extension "PasswordReset" on my wiki inserting the following text in LocalSetting:

require_once( "$IP/extensions/PasswordReset/PasswordReset.php" );
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['passwordreset']   = true;

Extension worked perfectly, but when a user (who had not sysop rights) tried to change his password, wiki showed this message:
"La funzione richiesta è riservata agli utenti che appartengono al gruppo: Amministratori."
("The function requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators.")

Then the extension influences the rights necessary to change the password... Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

I tried this on 1.18alpha (r84930) on a wiki with:

$wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['passwordreset']   = true;

and there is no problem with changing passwords with users that have no bureaucrat flag set.
