There are two methods used to control read and write access to
[[W3CWikiNotes|W3C Wiki instances]]:

# Some Wiki instances are configured to use the [[WorkingGroup]] page to list the usernames of people who should have write access.  Anyone who can edit the [[WorkingGroup]] page can authorize other Wiki accounts for write access.  Generally, public read access is granted.
# For Member-only wikis, the Apache configuration is used to require authentication with a W3C Web access credentials. This is most effective for controlling read access to the wiki, though it can also be used to provide more granular read/write controls.
