SID-01893: Users Sandbox - is there a way to make it private

Hi a user requested that there Sandbox be made private, is there a way to do this?

I tried going to the users Sandbox as an administrator and under: More Topic Options --> Edit Settings For this Topic

I entered in the setting for "ThisUser":

• Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = ThisUser

However, this didn't seem to help, any ideas?

Thanks, Greg

Use this syntax anywhere on the page or in topic preferences:

• Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = SomeUser

See details in TWikiAccessControl. Please note that you as an admin can see & edit all pages, regardless of access control.

Thanks, this works. Unfortunately if the user creates a page off this topic, even if this secured topic is the parent, the new page also requires permissions.

The user wants a development area where they can create some pages and allow a few users to review them before moving to their main topic for all the users. I guess I will need to create a development Wiki Topic for them to work in.

For practical purposes you could create a new web and lock the web down.

Alternatively, create a TWiki app where new pages are based on a specific topic template. That template can have the necessary access restriction.
