Question

For example each web has own authentication groups to set the rights for view or change of topics. In this case there are a lot of users in different groups. So it´s difficult to get an overview of the rights of a twiki user.

I'am trying to figure out a way to list the authentication groups for a selectable user. An example is in List Member Groups. This topic selects users with the letter P only. If PeterThoeny is selected the search generates a list of all topics not only the group topics.

• Is there a way to select the group topics only?
• Or better select the "Set GROUP" line of the group topics?

Answer

Have a look at TkGroupTest where I played around with SEARCH, URLPARAM (see TWikiVariables) and CALC (see SpreadSheetPlugin) to get me back the list of users that are in the same group as the specified user.

You also could easily define a search that gets you back the list of *Group topics the user is member of, or whatever else you wish to find. Just play around with all the features SEARCH is providing us already, but please do this in Sandbox ;-).

You could do a FormattedSearch doing a RegularExpression search for "Set GROUP \=.*%URLPARAM{"user"}%" limiting topics to topic="*Group".

The simplest way is to go to the user's home page and to click on Ref-by.
