Question

I would like to hide the TWiki web on my site. It currently looks like this:

Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the TWiki web: (See TWikiAccessControl).

   * #Set DENYWEBVIEW = 
   * #Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = TWikiAdminGroup 
   * #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = 
   * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup 

If I remove the # from Set ALLOWWEBVIEW, it removes the left side bar from all webs. Then logins are not able to occur. I only want the TWikiAdminGroup to be able to see it and use it. How do i make this work?

I do not recommend to restrict view access to the TWiki web, it contains all vital documentation, such as how to use text formatting, variables & plugins. And as you discovered, key topics will not work anymore such as sidebars, search and changes, since those are included from the TWiki web.

You can however hide the TWiki web so that it does not show up. Go to your TWiki.WebPreferences topic and set the NOSEARCHALL setting to on. (Note that you as an admin still can see the TWiki web listed.)
