SID-00901: Hidden web not visible to authorized users

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.0.2	Perl version:	unknown
Category:	CategoryAccessControl	Server OS:	unknown, probably unix	Last update:	15 years ago

I created a read/write restricted web named LLIS. I created a TWikiGroup called LessonsLearnedGroup. The LessonsLearnedGroup has the following:

---+!! <nop>LessonsLearnedGroup

   * Member list:
      * Set GROUP = Users.UserOne, Users.UserTwo, Users.Others...
   * Persons/group who can change the list:
      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

__%MAKETEXT{"Related topics:"}%__ %WIKIUSERSTOPIC%, TWikiGroups, %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl

The WebPreferences file has the below (relevant section only):

   * List this web in the %TWIKIWEB%.SiteMap:
      * If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST = =on=, and add the "what" and "use to..." description for the site map. Make sure to list only links that include the name of the web, e.g. <nop>%WEB%.Topic links.
      * Set SITEMAPLIST = 
      * Set SITEMAPWHAT = 
      * Set SITEMAPUSETO = 

   * Exclude web from a =web="all"= search: (Set to =on= for hidden webs)
      * Set NOSEARCHALL = on

   * Prevent automatic linking of [[%TWIKIWEB%.WikiWords][WikiWords]] and acronyms (if set to =on=); link <nop>WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
      * Set NOAUTOLINK = 
      * __Note:__ Use the =[<nop>[...][...]]= syntax to link topics in case you disabled <nop>WikiWord linking. The =<noautolink> ... </noautolink>= syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

   * Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
      * WebTopicEditTemplate: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
      * [[%TWIKIWEB%.WebTopicEditTemplate]]: Site-level default template
      * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiForms: How to enable form(s)
      * Set WEBFORMS = 

   * Users or groups who __are not__ / __are__ allowed to __view__ / __change__ / __rename__ topics in the <nop>%WEB% web: (See %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl)
      * Set DENYWEBVIEW = 
      * Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = %MAINWEB%.LessonsLearnedGroup %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup
      * Set DENYWEBCHANGE = 
      * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.LessonsLearnedGroup, %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup
      * Set DENYWEBRENAME = 
      * Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup

   * Users or groups allowed to change or rename this <nop>%TOPIC% topic: (I.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup)
      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup
      * Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup

   * Web preferences that are *not* allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
      * Set FINALPREFERENCES = NOSEARCHALL, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, WIKIWEBMASTER, WEBCOPYRIGHT, WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

I can't see anything wrong with the above and don't know why the people in LessonsLearnedGroup can't see the LLIS web. By the way, the %MAINWEB% variable in my wiki is set to Users instead of Main, I renamed that web during install.
