Wiki concepts on Sharepoint 2010

Question

We currently use a Wiki to keep track of all technical information pertaining our customers and so we have different collections with different permissions where we store pages for different set of users. We currently use Perspective (.NET development) and we would like to move to Sharepoint. 2007 is out of the question because of lack of features that are quite important for us, but 2010 seems to have added most of those. The only issue we have is that we don't properly understand how to accomplish security restrictions in folders and also, folders don't seem to work or are buggy. We create a page inside a folder by using the syntax: [[ Folder / Page ]] but the page doesn't show as created then. And we can't find where we can set permissions for folders.

What we need is a a tree of folders where we can store pages having permissions inherited from the folder. Was someone able to accomplish something like this?

Answer 1

I've just quickly tested this :

Let start with a team site.

-Add a folder : name it "MyFolder" (allow folders in the Site Page list settings)
-now add a wiki page in this folder, name it "MyPage1"
-get back to your home page->move it to edit mode
-type [[MyFolder/MyPage1]], intellisense should show up and help you here; I've noticed a bug in the intellisense; leave the edit mode, and get back to it.
-get back to your Site Pages list, you will see your folder.
-select the folder and in the ECB, select manage permission.
-select Stop Inheriting Permissions in the Ribbon
check the groups that should not have access to your folder and in the Ribbon
Remove User permission
(or remove all of them and in the ribbon, select Grant Permission).

Hope this helps

Many thanks. Your information lead me to find where the folders are handled in a Wiki library. :)
It worked as planned.
