Details
$wgGroupPermissions is a two-dimensional array indexed by user group and available permissions; for example, "$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true;" allows registered users to edit. These groups can be assigned to users through the wiki Special:Userrights interface.
For in-depth documentation, see Help:User rights.
Preventing anonymous user write:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
Extensions
Extensions such as RenameUser or MakeBot add new rights which can be configured and assigned in the same manner.
