Question

I have installed Dakar 4.0.3 and am trying out the BulkRegistration.

I have copied over the TWikiUsers.txt file from our Cairo version and added by hand the entry for

• TWikiRegistrationAgent - 1 Jan 2005

Main.TWikiRegistrationAgent exist.

I added TWikiRegistrationAgent to WebPreferences as follows

• Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup, TWikiRegistrationAgent
• Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup, TWikiRegistrationAgent

Basically I have followed all the tips found in UserRegistrationProblem.

When I try to use BulkRegistration I get the error

Attention 
Access check on Main.TwikiSupport failed. Action "CHANGE": access not allowed on web. 
Contact twiki.support@crn.ch if you have any questions.

The new user in the BulkRegistration list has been added to TwikiUsers.txt but the homepage for the new user has not been created. I find no errors in the logs.

Any ideas why BulkRegistration cant create the users homepage in Main?

I got it to work by removing the entries for TWikiRegistrationAgent in WebPreferences by copying the setup of WebPreferences from the twiki.org site. Probably not the ideal solution and there must be an access control issue for TWikiRegistrationAgent, but at least it works now.

My experience is that TWikiRegistrationAgent has to be part of TWikiAdminGroup. This is probably a bug, but I was more concerned at the time in getting it to work than to dig through the code.
