SID-00499: Edit Personal Information

Currently if JoeBlogg logs in to TWiki and clicks on users, JoeBlogg can Select JohnDoe and try and edit JohnDoe's username and details. Is there a way to make sure that if JoeBlogg clicks on any other username he will be denied access to edit?

Discussion and Answer

It is possible to lock down user homepages, but I do not recommend to do that, see TWikiAccessControl.

If you really want to lock down user homepages for edit, add this access restriction to your Main.NewUserTemplate page and all existing user homepages:

   * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %WIKIUSERNAME%
