TWiki Groups

These groups can be used to define fine grained TWikiAccessControl in TWiki:

Group Members
TWikiBaseGroup TWikiAdminUser, TWikiGuest, UnknownUser, TWikiContributor, TWikiRegistrationAgent
AllAuthUsersGroup All authenticated users.
AllUsersGroup All users including unauthenticated users.
DeanAndTimGroup TimMcDonald, DeanNagy
GoZoomGroup TimMcDonald, IanFraser, GoZoomTest
IllusionaryCommunicationsGroup TimMcDonald, SamDoherty
NobodyGroup  
TWikiAdminGroup TWikiAdminUser, TimMcDonald

New Group:  
  Warning, important Note: A group topic name must be a WikiWord and must end in ...Group. New topics are based on TWikiGroupTemplate

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 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 TWikiAdminGroup if necesssary.
