Question

hi, i'm a newbie setting up twiki at our startup. actually a consultant did the basic setup and now we can successfully get to twiki externally and play in the sandbox etc. i'm trying to setup our first stab at the company wiki and i'm stuck on the simplest of things. i want to add a new web (which will be our site wiki) and i get the following

Access check on ManagingWebs failed. Action "MANAGE": access not allowed on web.

now my WikiName is definately listed in the TWikiAdminGroup but i'm not sure if its being recognized. for example when i uncomment ALLOWTOPICCHANGE and try and edit the twikiadmingroup i get

Access check on TWikiAdminGroup failed. Action "change": access not allowed on topic.

i have the following for the TWikiAdminGroup member list

• • Set GROUP = steve, SteveSmith, main.steve, main.SteveSmith

which is every combination of my unix and wikiname i can think of, but nothing works...

as i mentioned, i am able to login externally via apache and poke around but i can't do any admin stuff...

can anyone point me down the right path??

thx!!

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Looks like you're doing the right thing. You need to use Main.SteveSmith instead of main.SteveSmith (caps are important). But SteveSmith should work on it's own.

What else can I think of .. there's (a muliplum of) three spaces in front of the asterix?

Also, in configure, make sure {MapUserToWikiName} is checked. And in TWikiUsers, your entry looks like this:

• SteveSmith - steve - 22 Mar 2006

This will map your login name to WikiName, which is needed for the access control.
