SID-01868: Can't edit user profile page immediately after creation

Hi, I just began noticing that new users cannot edit their profile pages. When they go to the "Account" menu on the top right corner, and then hit their red-letters username, they get this error:

Attention Access check on UserName failed. Action "CHANGE": access not allowed on web. Contact admin@ePLEASENOSPAM.m4il if you have any questions.

Could you please help me fix this group misconfiguration? I probably touched something but I don't know how to make it right again.

Thanks in advance,

Discussion and Answer

A red-link indicates that the topic does not exist. What URL do you get when you click on the red-link?

Also, check the access restrictions in your Main.WebPreferences. The Main web should not be locked down for change.

Hi,

How can I remove user entry from http://....//twiki/bin/view/Main/UserList??

Thanks

Kalyan, please do not cross-post your question to an unrelated question.

Thank you very much Peter,

The Main Web Preferences page showed like this;

Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = %USERSWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup

I removed the TWikiAdminGroup from that field and now new users can register fine. Awesome!!

Better to keep the Main web open. If you want to restrict it for change make sure the TWikiRegistrationAgent is in the ALLOWWEBCHANGE setting in Main.WebPreferences.
