Question
Should setting the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE variable to nothing override the ALLOWWEBCHANGE setting in WebPreferences? I have a web that is restricted by ALLOWWEBCHANGE = some user. Within that web, I'd like to have a page within that web that is open for all to edit. I.e. ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = all users. To accomplish this, I set the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE variable on that page to nothing. Still no one can edit that topic. If I set the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE variable to a specific list or group, then it can be edited by those. There is no group for All TWiki Users.- TWiki version: March 2001 Beta

Answer
All you say is correct. An empty ALLOWTOPICCHANGE variable is the same as a non-existing one, so ALLOWWEBCHANGE of the WebPreferences applies. There is currently no implicit "all users" group (would be a useful enhancement) So with the current implementation you need to create a BigGroup and add everyone who registered. - PeterThoeny - 17 Aug 2001
