Question

I want to deny access to the entire web for group of people (e.g: Main.TestGroup) but I want to give them access to some topics (e.g: TestTopic) in the same web.

I set DENYWEBVIEW = Main.TestGroup in the WebPreferences and set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.TestGroup in the topic preferences.

When the group member tried to access the TestTopic (by entering the http url of the topic directly in the browser), it gave an error:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.
 
Undefined subroutine &TWiki::Contrib::EditContrib::Include41::isTrue called

How do I achieve what I want ?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

This is unrelated to access control, but rather a bug in EditContrib which has been reported but apparently not yet been fixed. The patch is available in SectionEditNotWorking (by Greg Gardinier) and in EditTablePluginDev.

Thank you very much Harald. Row 93 of Include41.pm did the trick !
