---+ TWiki Groups

These groups can be used to define fine grained %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl in <nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%:

%SEARCH{"GROUP" topic="*Group" casesensitive="on" nosummary="on" nosearch="on" noheader="on" nototal="on" format="	* $topic$n		* <font size=\"-1\">Members: $pattern(.*	\* Set GROUP =([^\n]*).*)</font>"}%

<form action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%WEB%/" method="get">
	* New Group:
	  <input type="text" name="topic" value="NameGroup" size="30"/>&nbsp;<input class="twikiSubmit" type="submit" value="Add"/>
	  <input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="TWikiGroupTemplate"/>
	  <input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%"/>
	  <input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" />
	  <input type="hidden" name="onlynewtopic" value="on" />
		* %ICON{"warning"}% __Note:__ A group topic name must be a %TWIKIWEB%.WikiWord and __must__ end in =...Group=. New topics are based on TWikiGroupTemplate
</form>

*IMPORTANT NOTE:* Think twice before restricting write access to a web or a topic, because an open system where everybody can contribute is the essence of %TWIKIWEB%.WikiCulture. Experience shows that unrestricted write access works very well because:
	* There is enough peer pressure to post only appropriate content.
	* Content does not get lost because topics are under revision control.
	* A topic revision can be undone by a member of the %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup if necesssary.
