The whole Internet can read, but only a certain list can post.

Go to the install page (if you forgot to bookmark it, add "cmd=install" to any faqomatic URL), and click "Define groups." Type the name of a group of people you want to define (e.g. "HelpDesk"). The next page will show the (empty) HelpDesk group, and allow you to add user IDs (email addresses) one at a time.*

When you're done defining the group, go to the Moderator Options for the top item, and change the permissions to allow only that group to make changes. (Again, you'll probably want to define a moderator and only allow the moderator to edit the moderator options.)

*If you have a big list you want to add in bulk, examine the file meta/groups. The format should be pretty obvious. (If you do change it, don't mess up its permissions.)
