TWiki Groups

These groups can be used to define fine grained %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl in <nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%:

<form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%WEB%/" method="get">

• New Group:

  • <input type="text" name="topic" value="NameGroup" size="30"/> <input class="twikiSubmit" type="submit" value="Add"/> <input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="TWikiGroupTemplate"/> <input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%"/> <input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="onlynewtopic" value="on" />

    • %ICON{"warning"}% 'Note:' A group topic name must be a %TWIKIWEB%.WikiWord and 'must end in =...Group=. New topics are based on TWikiGroupTemplate

</form>

IMPORTANT NOTE: Think twice before restricting write access to a web or a topic, because an open system where everybody can contribute is the essence of %TWIKIWEB%.WikiCulture. Experience shows that unrestricted write access works very well because:

• There is enough peer pressure to post only appropriate content.
• Content does not get lost because topics are under revision control.
• A topic revision can be undone by a member of the %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup if necesssary.
