Nobody Group

• Member list:
  • Set GROUP =
• Persons/group who can change the list:
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

Used to prevent dangerous actions e.g. renaming TWikiPreferences - put NobodyGroup as the only group allowed to rename a topic and it can't be renamed.

TWiki Groups

These groups can be used to define fine grained TWikiAccessControl in TWiki:

New Group:
	Note: A group topic name must be a WikiWord and must end in ...Group. New topics are based on TWikiGroupTemplate

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 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 TWikiAdminGroup if necesssary.

• TWikiGuest - guest user, used as a fallback if the user can't be identified
• TWikiRegistrationAgent - special user used during the new user registration process
• UnknownUser - used where the author of a previously stored piece of data can't be determined

Access Control:

• Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup, TWikiRegistrationAgent

The UnknownUser User

UnknownUser is a reserved name in TWiki. If the UnknownUser appears, it is probably because author information for a topic could not be recovered, perhaps because a topic has been modified by a non-TWiki tool.

User Form

Note: This is a maintenance topic, used by the TWiki administrator.

This form defines the form of the home pages of registered TWiki users listed in TWikiUsers.

Note: Please keep the TWikiRegistration form and this form definition in sync. When you update this form you need to edit/save the NewUserTemplate topic. This ensures that the fields are in the right order.

Header of User Homepages

Note: This is a maintenance topic, used by the TWiki administrator.

The part between the horizontal rules gets included at the top of every TWikiUsers homepage. The header can be customized to the needs of your organization. For example, show all frequently used fields from the UserForm on top, followed by a personalized portal. The portal can pull content from other places, such as headline news by department, a list of current projects, etc. The TWiki:TWiki.UserHomepageSupplement has some additional documentation and ideas on customizing the homepages.

Web Changes Notification Service

Each TWiki web has an automatic e-mail notification service that sends you an e-mail with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert.

Users subscribe to email notifications using their WikiName or an alternative email address, and can specify the webs/topics they wish to track using one of these bullet list formats:

three spaces * [ webname . ] wikiName - SMTP mail address
three spaces * [ webName . ] wikiName
three spaces * SMTP mail address
three spaces * SMTP mail address : topics
three spaces * [ webname . ] wikiName : topics

In the above examples, topics is a space-separated list of topic names. The user may further customize the specific content they will receive using the following formats:

• Specify topics without a Web. prefix
• Topics must exist in this web.
• Topics may be specified using * wildcards
• Each topic may optionally be preceded by a '+' or '-' sign. The '+' sign means "subscribe to this topic" (the same as not putting anything). The '-' sign means "unsubscribe" or "don't send notifications regarding this topic". This allows users to elect to filter out certain topics (and their children, to an arbitrary depth). Topic filters ('-') take precedence over topic includes ('+').
• Each topic may optionally be followed by an integer in parentheses, indicating the depth of the tree of children below that topic. Changes in all these children will be detected and reported along with changes to the topic itself. Note This uses the TWiki "Topic parent" feature.
• Each topic may optionally be immediately followed by an exclamation mark ! or a question mark ? with no intervening spaces, indicating that the topic (and children if there is a tree depth specifier as well) should be mailed out as complete topics instead of change summaries. ! causes the topic to be mailed every time even if there have been no changes, ? will mail the topic only if there have been changes to it. This only makes sense for subscriptions.

For example: Subscribe Daisy to all changes to topics in this web.

   * daisy.cutter@flowers.com

   * daisy.cutter@flowers.com: Web*

   * TWiki.DaisyCutter: Petal* (1) TWiki.WeedKillers (3) Pretty*Flowers

   * TWiki.StarTrekFan: Star* - *Wars - *sInTheirEyes - *shipTroopers

   * daisy@flowers.com: TWiki.NewsLetter?

   * buttercup@flowers.com: TWiki.NewsLetter! (1)

   * TWiki.GardenGroup: TWiki.AllNewsLetters? (3)
   * petunia@flowers.com: - TWiki.ManureNewsLetter

If a TWiki group is listed for notification, the group will be recursively expanded to the e-mail addresses of all members.

Tip: List names in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the names.

Note for System Administrators: Notification is supported by an add-on to the TWiki kernel called the MailerContrib. See the MailerContrib topic for details of how to set up this service.

Note: If you prefer a news feed, point your reader to WebRss (for RSS 1.0 feeds) or WebAtom (for ATOM 1.0 feeds). Learn more at WebRssBase and WebAtomBase, respectively.

Main Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Main web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWiki.TWikiPreferences and Main.TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWikiGuest in the Main web).

Web Preferences Settings

These settings override the defaults for this web only. See full list of defaults with explanation.

• Web settings:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Users  |  Groups  |  Changes  |  Index  |  Search  |  Go
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFEFA6
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Welcome to TWiki... Users, Groups
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...see who is registered on this TWiki
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on

• Default template for new topics for this web:
  • WebTopicEditTemplate? : Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default topic template

• Comma separated list of forms that can be attached to topics in this web. See TWikiForms for more information.
  • Set WEBFORMS = UserForm

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Main web: (See TWikiAccessControl). Remove the # to enable any of these settings. Remember that an empty setting is a valid setting; setting DENYWEBVIEW to nothing means that anyone can view the web.
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =

• Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (e.g., TWikiAdminGroup)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

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

Help on Preferences

• A preference setting is defined by:
  3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customisation. Example:
  
  • #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = UnknownUser
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFEFA6
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
