Question

Hi, In my corporate TWiki environment, TWiki login is integrated into the Windows logon and hence there is no need to register in TWiki. It also means that it is not possible to put each staff into some group. Please consider the following scenario:

  • There are two groups: GoodGroup and BadGroup with some names in each. There are others who don't belong to any group.
  • There are two topics: CommonTopic and RestrictedTopic. There are also too many other topics in the web that makes it impossible to edit each and every topic to set the permissions.

I want to implement the access permissions as given below:

  !CommonTopic !RestrictedTopic All other topics in the Web
!GoodGroup View, Change View, Change View, Change
!BadGroup View View  
Everyone Else View    

(Blank cell means that the group will have no permissions (not even View permission)

What settings do I need to put in WebPreferences, CommonTopic and RestrictedTopic ?
