In ikiwiki, there might be no such special information associated with users (or you can think of something like this?), except for the admin rights. But fortunately, several OpenIDs can be set up for admins in ikwiki. (Only if it comes to [the OpenIDs provided by Gmail][forum/google openid broken?], then it turns out to be unhandy to write the ID into the configuration file as a second admin ID.)--Ivan Z.
