This module provides single sign-in and user database integration for MediaWiki as slave of Drupal. It is set up so that users sign in to the Drupal site, and as a result they automatically become logged in to the wiki. User entries are still created in the wiki's user table and are kept up to date on each login with email and real name. This does not include content exchange or wiki parsing, for that, see the Mediawiki module.
Swipht technologies developed a set of security modules with sponsorship from Portland State University. The modules provide roles and user specific security permissions for menus, menu items, nodes, and security integration into the administration and help systems. We would like to provide this suite of modules back to the community to share the usefulness of the suite and involve the community to provide additional support, testing, and moderation.
Special care was taken to ensure the usability of permission management was consistent across all sections of the system (nodes, menus, menu items). Also each security module uses a cascading security scheme to allow global security and the option to override or define exceptions to the security model for individual items.
For example, defining global node access rights by role will dynamically apply the security scheme to all content types and nodes created. However the user can override the global security scheme for an individual content type, and override the permissions for a given content type by setting permissions on an individual node.

The 6.x version of this module provides default abuse flags for nodes, comments and users and gives an administrative interface for reviewing and resetting said flags.
