One of the key strengths of Geeklog is the User Rights Management system. You may assign read and edit rights to a given group of users. Each user may in turn be part of any group, and groups may inherit rights from other groups. This creates a web of rights which can fulfill the requirements of an international corporate intranet site or an interwoven community of web-users.
