Well, on such a private wiki, one can neither register herself nor
reset his password: the registration page, as any other page, would be
forbidden to non-authenticated users. Admin users should then be
enabled to:
- register a new user
- reset someone else's password
In both cases, a brand new random password is sent by e-mail to the
new user.
An authenticated user should nevertheless be able to change his
own password. -- [[intrigeri]]
