*Groups*: this field should contain the wikiname of each group you want to apply the rights to. "XWiki.XWikiAllGroup" represents the group of all logged-in users with an account on your Wiki. "xwiki:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup" represents the group of all logged-in users using an XWiki.com account.

*Access Levels*: this field should contain a list of access levels that you want to  apply to the users and groups specified. Available access levels are: admin, edit, view, comment. To protect your wiki in view and edit mode use "view, edit". To protect adding comments use "comment".
