Question

When trying to register user XXXX I get: 

Access check on Main.XXXX failed. Action "CHANGE": access not allowed on web.

I have these settings on WebPreferences and TWikiUsers 

   * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = Main.TWikiRegistrationAgent
   * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.TWikiRegistrationAgent
(Respectively). Does TWikiAdminGroup? ? need to be included? Do I need the MAINWEB declaration in front of TWikiRegistrationAgent? ?? I have been fighting this for a while. I just want to lock down my Main web for changes (but allow viewing by anyone).

Thanks in advance. I know this is similar to UserRegistrationProblem, but I couldn't edit it to change its status.

Try adding the user TWikiRegistrationAgent? to the TWikiAdminGroup? . Fixed it for me whe I ran into this.

Thanks for the suggestion. Still no go, same error. I even changed the : 

  * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminGroup

The issue here is that there is a bit o code in the lib that creates webs that automatically rejects any request by a user that is not an admin. So if you trust your users enough, you can simply snip out this bit of code, or change who creates the web (though that could cause issues down the road).
