enhancement

Rephrasing bug summary. The extension should register a new user right and restrict voting to users with that user right.

Whether a new user group is created or whether anyone has this by default ('*', or 'autoconfirmed' or 'sysop' or 'user' etc.) is up to the local wiki to configure and shouldn't be part of the extension.

I will add (similar to what is in OpenID.php)

# new user rights
$wgAvailableRights[] = 'ajaxpoll-vote';
$wgAvailableRights[] = 'ajaxpoll-admin';

Yes, something like that should be added to the extension.

And then probably a few more lines of code in another place to enforces these user rights.

# new user rights
$wgAvailableRights[] = 'ajaxpoll-vote';
$wgAvailableRights[] = 'ajaxpoll-admin';

# uncomment to allow users to read access the dashboard
# default: everyone can vote
# $wgGroupPermissions['user']['ajaxpoll-vote'] = true;

# allow sysops to adminstrate the polls
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['ajaxpoll-admin'] = true;

implemented in r113554

(In reply to comment #6)
must use r113555 (r113554 lacks the server-side check)
