SID-01923: setting up users and groups

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:	5.10
Category:	CategoryAccessControl	Server OS:	CentOS 6.5 on openvz	Last update:	11 years ago

I am returning to getting Twiki setup again. I'm having issues getting the user mgmt working. I can successfully add a user to the system, but when I log into Twiki as root, I can't change the grou permission of that user. It's a bit confusing, since this seems like a flat file system for mgmt, is there a file that I can edit and add a user(s) to a group that has appropriate permissions to add spaces and pages and what not? I can't get into the superuser account either. Please advise.

Discussion and Answer

TWiki does its own group management, all files manipulated by TWiki need to be owned by the webserver user & group, apache:apache on CentOS. That is, do not attempt to use Linux groups for TWiki.

Visit Main.TWikiGroups on your installation to create groups. Read details at TWikiAccessControl.
