Question

I am running Twiki 4.0.5 and love it, but I am a bit confused on the ACL. I am running TWiki as an internal Wiki. No direct web accesses.

I want anyone to view/edit a Web. No login. However, some sections, I want open to admins only and I want the Main, and other Webs to view only to Guest.

If I turn off authentication in the configure script, TWikiGuest can edit everything, but I can't restrict topics and webs.

If I set authentication to Template, then my admin ACLs work and I can log in, and any guest can view stuff, but it shows a login screen if they try to edit anything.

I have been trying everything I can think of, but I can't find a middle ground.

How can I have guest roam free to view and edit in a web without login, but still have login active for admin stuff?

Environment

TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Slack 11.0

I found the answer. The trick is to remove everything from {AuthScripts} in the TWiki config. Just a blank line. Then it works fine.
