For either type of repository, you are likely to want to give at least
the WriteTrusted capability (4) to users in the <tt>developer</tt>
category. If you did not give the Read Forum capability (2) to
<tt>anonymous</tt> above, you should give <tt>developer</tt> that
capability here if you choose to give it capability 3 or 4.


You must give at least one user or user category the Email Alerts
capability (7), else the only people able to sign themselves up for
email notifications are those with the Setup or Admin capability. Those
users could sign others up via Admin &rarr; Notification, but you
probably want to give this capability to one of the user categories.
Give it to <tt>nobody</tt> if you want anyone to sign up without any
restrictions.  Give it to <tt>anonymous</tt> if you want the user to
solve a simple CAPTCHA before signing up. Give it to <tt>reader</tt> or
<tt>developer</tt> if you want only users with Fossil logins to have
this ability. (That's assuming you give one or both of these
capabilities to every user on your Fossil repository.)

By following this advice, you should not need to tediously add
capabilities to individual accounts except in atypical cases, such as
to grant the Moderate Forum capability (5) to an uncommonly
highly-trusted user.

category. If you did not give the Read Forum capability (2) to
<tt>anonymous</tt> above, you should give <tt>developer</tt> that

If you want to use the email notification feature, by default only those
users in the Setup and Admin user categories can make use of it. Grant
the Email Alerts capability (7) to give others access to this feature.
Alternately, you can handle notification signups outside of Fossil, with
a Setup or Admin users manually signing users up via Admin &rarr;
Notification. You'll want to grant this capability to the
<tt>nobody</tt> user category if you want anyone to sign up without any
restrictions.  Give it to <tt>anonymous</tt> instead if you want the
user to solve a simple CAPTCHA before signing up. Or, give it to
<tt>reader</tt> or <tt>developer</tt> if you want only users with Fossil
logins to have this ability. (That's assuming you give one or both of
these capabilities to every user on your Fossil repository.)
