<code>'''$smwgEditProtectionRight'''</code> is a [[Help:Configuration|configuration parameter]] that sets the user right required to edit pages which are edit protected with {{SpecialProperty|Is edit protected}}. If no [[Help:User rights and user groups#Editing pages edit protected with special property "Is edit protected"|user right]] is added to this configuration parameter the [[edit protection]] feature utilizing {{SpecialProperty|Is edit protected}} cannot be used on the wiki. The parameter was introduced in [[Semantic MediaWiki 2.5.0]].[[CiteRef::gh:smw:2232]][[CiteRef::gh:smw:2249]]

This configuration parameter helps to prevent accidental changes of content especially to property definitions or other data sensitive pages that may cause data invalidations (e.g. change of a property type, inconsistent specifications etc.) or process disruptions. See the help page on [[Help:Edit protection|edit protection]] for further information.

== Default setting ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="php" enclose="div">
$smwgEditProtectionRight = false;
</syntaxhighlight>
The default setting prevents the [[Help:Edit protection|edit protection]] feature using {{SpecialProperty|Is edit protected}} from being used on the wiki.

== Changing the default setting ==
Changing the default value by adding any [[Help:User rights and user groups#Editing pages edit protected with special property "Is edit protected"|user right]] to this configuration parameter ''enables'' the usage of the [[edit protection]] feature utilizing {{SpecialProperty|Is edit protected}}.

; Enable the [[edit protection]] and allow users with the "<code>smw-pageedit</code>" right to edit protected pages
<syntaxhighlight lang="php" enclose="div">
$smwgEditProtectionRight = "smw-pageedit";
</syntaxhighlight> 
{{Note|
* The "<code>smw-pageedit</code>" user right is provided by default by Semantic MediaWiki and is only assigned to user group "Curator (Semantic Mediawiki)" (<code>smwcurator</code>). It is recommended to use this [[Help:User rights and user groups#Editing pages edit protected with special property "Is edit protected"|user right and user group combination]].
* The user right added here should only be granted to trusted users that are proficient in working with properties.
* Any other user right including self-defined user rights may be added to this configuration parameter. Please carefully revisit the user group assignments to the user right added to avoid unintentionally allowing users to edit protected pages which should not be allowed to do so.
