Question

Hi,

I have installed twiki on one of our Mac OS 10.4 Servers at work. I wanted any/all of our employees to be able to register and modify pages, but I don't want anyone else to be able to modify it. (But I don't care if anyone can see it-none of it is important information). Our employees log in from both Macs and PCs, both from home and from work.

Because of this, I was wondering if there was any way for the administrator (namely me) to have to authorize the registration of a new user. I want the ability to click refuse for anyone who I don't recognize (we have a relatively small office)

I have looked around for a while and have not found any pertinent answers. Any help would be great!

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Here is an easy solution:

• Allow anyone to register
• Create a ContributorGroup
• Manually add people to that group (as a TWiki admin you get an e-mail for every registration)
• Lock down webs of interest to that ContributorGroup.
