Question

How does the user interface for user and group administration look like. We are going to select a wiki and one major issue is the user administration. Does any screen shots exist?

Answer

Hi Bernd, you will find that TWiki has very extensive admin functions, and gives you a lot of power with many extensions available (Plugins, Skins, Add-ons) to customize TWiki to your needs.

We do not have screen shots, but you can look at the live TWiki on the (currently slow) TWiki.org website:

• AdminTools: Common admin tools with links to manage users, groups, topics, webs, plugins; and a table of webs with links to manage webs
• TWiki: Reference Manual for admins (big)
• ManagingUsers: Register & unregister users, password management
• TWikiAccessControl: Documentation of access control
• TWikiGroups: Define groups for access control
• TWikiSiteTools: E-mail alerts, statistics
• TWikiPreferences: Site-wide preferences settings

You also get a helpful community supporting you; and if needed, ConsultantsForHire and CodersForHire.

Hope this helps; let us know if you have any questions. Good luck with your evaluation.
