Answer

ALERT! If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Just add this to the topic: 

      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.WikiName
...with "WikiName" being the name of person who should have edit privileges. In the specific case you mention above of protecting a users home topic, you can simply put "ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %TOPIC%".

  • Notice that ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %TOPIC% does not work in the current TWikiRelease02Sep2004, you need to set it to the topic name, e.g. ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = JoaquimFerreira -- PeterThoeny - 13 Aug 2005

For more information about TWiki control over topic privileges, see TWikiAccessControl.
