! Managing User Accounts
The Quickie wiki engine includes to concept of ''user accounts'' to make
it possible to manage various permissions.

The most significant permission is the ability to create and edit wiki pages.

!! The System Configuration File
There are several fields in the [manual/configuration|System
Configuration] file which control anonymous user permissions, and also
the default user permissions when an account is forst created.

!! Creating New User Accounts
Users create their own accounts through the [admin/new_user] wiki page.
They will usually do this when prompted by actions which require being
logged in.

The permissions granted to new users come from the ''default-user-*''
fields of the [manual/configuration|System Configuration] file.

!! Login
Users can login to get permissions specific to them rather than the more
limited anonymous permissions through the [admin/login] wiki page.

The permissions granted to anonymous users come from the
''anonymous-user-*'' fields of the [manual/configuration|System
Configuration] file.
