Question

I want to restrict a web to ChiefGroup, nobody else should be able to view/edit it. I created a testuser JoeBlack who is not a member of any group (and of course not member of Twiki-Admin-Group ;-)). The webpreferences-file says:

Set DENYWEBVIEW = 
Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = Main.ChiefGroup 
Set DENYWEBCHANGE = 
Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = Main.ChiefGroup 
Set DENYWEBRENAME = 
Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = Main.ChiefGroup 

.htaccess:

<Files "view">
       require valid-user
</Files>

Answer

• The syntax on the group-definition-page was wrong. I forgot the bullet points, the regular expression in access.pm looks for the bullet point.
