$smwgAdminFeatures = SMW_ADM_REFRESH | SMW_ADM_SETUP | SMW_ADM_DISPOSAL | SMW_ADM_PSTATS | SMW_ADM_FULLT | SMW_ADM_ALERT_LAST_OPTIMIZATION_RUN;

This means that by default all users who are administrators (user group "sysop") or Semantic MediaWiki administrators (user group "smwadministrator") may use all features available.

Available options

The options enabled by default are highlighted bold.

• SMW_ADM_NONE – Disables all administrative features
• SMW_ADM_REFRESH – Allows to initiate the repairing or updating of all semantic data on the wiki.
• SMW_ADM_SETUP – Allows to set up or upgrade the database tables used to store semantic data on the wiki.
• SMW_ADM_DISPOSAL – Allows to lookup and dispose of outdated semantic objects.
• SMW_ADM_PSTATS – Allows to initiate the rebuild of property statistics on the respective property pages as well as on special page "Statistics" displaying semantic statistics.
• SMW_ADM_FULLT – Allows to initiate the rebuild of the search index for the full-text search feature.
• SMW_ADM_ALERT_LAST_OPTIMIZATION_RUN – Allows to see a maintenance alert in case a database optimization run done with maintenance script "setupStore.php"Allows to set up the data backend/store is overdue.3

Changing the default setting

To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the enableSemantics() call:

Removing a specific administrative function

To remove a specific administrative function e.g. the ability to initiate the repairing or updating of all semantic data on the wiki, just exclude the respective constant as shown just above:

$smwgAdminFeatures = SMW_ADM_SETUP | SMW_ADM_DISPOSAL | SMW_ADM_PSTATS | SMW_ADM_FULLT;

or

$smwgAdminFeatures = ( $smwgAdminFeatures & ~SMW_ADM_REFRESH );

  Note: Please use parentheses4 when combining different bit-operations to avoid a possible mismatch.

Removing all administrative functions

To remove all administrative features just replace all constants with the one as shown below:

$smwgAdminFeatures = SMW_ADM_NONE;

Preventing access to special page "SemanticMediaWiki"Provides functions for wiki administrators that assist in doing their administration work

To achieve this the user right "smw-admin" has to removed from the wiki administrators (user group "sysop") and additionally no user should be assigned to be a Semantic MediaWiki administrator (user group "smwadministrator"). This will additionally prevent the display of operational statistics and of configuration settings.
