# Permissions A wiki belongs to one owner, who can share it with other users in three roles. A role applies to the whole wiki: it gives the same rights on every page, and there are no per-page or per-block roles. ## Roles The owner cannot be removed. Every other member has one role: - **Viewer:** reads the wiki, private or not. - **Editor:** reads and edits pages and blocks, but cannot change settings or membership. - **Admin:** can also change wiki settings and manage members. ## Adding and removing members Open the gear icon (Manage) on the wiki. The Members section lists everyone with a role. Click "+ Add", search the user's display name, pick a role, confirm. To change a role later, click the current role next to the member and select a new one. "Remove" revokes their access entirely. Users you invite must already have a Wikilayer account — email invites aren't supported yet. ## How visibility fits in Permissions answer who can do what. [Visibility](page:3112) answers who can see the wiki at all. A public wiki is readable by anyone, members or not; a private one is invisible outside the member list, except for pages shared through a public link. An archived wiki is hidden everywhere except the owner's management screen. ## Sharing one page The owner or an admin can publish one ordinary page of a private wiki without opening the rest of the wiki. On the page, open **Page actions** (the `…` menu), turn on **Public link** under **Share page**, and copy the generated `/p/…` address. The link is read-only and opens nothing else: not the rest of the wiki, editing or settings. The menu also shows its view count after the first visit. Turn **Public link** off to revoke access; turning it on again restores the same stable address. An agent can turn the public link on and off as well. On an already-public wiki, the share address redirects to the normal page. --- ## Links here - [Features](page:59316) - [Team documentation](page:59336) - [Visibility](page:3112) --- [All pages](https://wikilayer.org/smee-again/wikilayer-howto/en/index.md)
