 * Hi There,
 * I’m looking for software that is easy to set-up and extend. I’m not very experienced
   in using WordPress, and I’m wondering if WordPress is a good solution to use 
   as a knowledge base with at least these two features:
    – Login before getting
   access – Administrators can publish content/posts, based on user-level
 * I know its powerful enough to do the ‘basic’ knowlegde base things such as rating
   posts list posts in different ways.

 * 1. login before getting access : [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/restriction](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/restriction)
   or [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/restrict](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/restrict)
 * 2. “Administrators can publish content/posts, based on user-level” need better
   explanation of that. A contributor can write and “submit for review” a post if
   that’s what you are talking about…

 * Hi MichaelH,
 * Thanks for your reply. I want for each post to decide witch group of users is
   allowed to read it. But I think I already found it in this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-access-manager/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-access-manager/)
 * “From now on the post/page is only accessible and writable for the specified 
   group.”

 * Hello,
 * I’m about to setup our knowledge base with WordPress, but I have still one question
   to be answered first. Is it possible to create profiles of users and finished
   project and make them searchable? I want these profiles to be shown next to search
   results of the posts (we call them articles because we’re building a knowledge
   base). Is there a way to create such kind of profiles? Ore would you suggest 
   to use regular posts for this, place them into a separate category and create
   its own search result next to the regular search results?
 * I hope my explanation is clear enough..
