Securing Wiki
- Jul 01, 2020
Illuminate Hello! Thanks for the update, that's handy to know! (never tried it as I mentioned).
How about using OneNote within Teams instead? It's a much better overall experience comparing to the Wiki and you can secure it with password-protected sections (but not entire notebooks) using encryption. To add to that you have the sharing/permissions options as well.
ChristianBergstrom thanks, This is the first thing I tried and members are still able to change the Wiki. I asked the same question during Colab365 recently and the general consensus was securing a wiki goes against the principles of a wiki, sharing i.e. if you feel that you need to secure information in a wiki it is probably the wrong tool to use. While I agree with the sentiment I am a bit baffled by the fact that I can set access permission but it does not have any impact

Thanks ChristianBergstrom I will look into that. I was also thinking about using Sharepoint site pages but OneNote would be easier to manage. I have never tried to secure OneNote in Teams and it would be interesting to see how it works since the Wiki is actually built on OneNote.
