Hi, I am new baby to TWiki. We have topics, which is editable and viewable to group A and viewable only to Group B. We now want to viewable/reading group B also has comments right, but could not make attachment and modify the content of the topics. Is that possible? And How to do it?

Discussion and Answer

TWiki's access control works on a whole topic. If you need different access control within a topic you can compose a topic using an INCLUDE. In your case, you could restrict edit of the doc topic (such as DocID123) to group B. That doc topic INCLUDEs a comment topic (such as DocID123Comments), which is editable by group B. The comment topic has a COMMENT variable - all comments end up on that topic.

The doc topic can include the comment topic in a generic way, such as:

%INCLUDE{ "%TOPIC%Comments" }%
