I logged in but it still says I have to be in the 'editor' or 'admin' group.

After reading the docs, I think you edit a file called
LocalSettings.php  and add the following:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['move']             = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['move-subpages']    = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['move-rootuserpages'] = true; // can move
root userpages
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['read']             = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit']             = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createpage']       = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createtalk']       = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['writeapi']         = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload']           = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload']         = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['reupload-shared']  = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['minoredit']        = true;
