Hi,

I am not able to login as TwikiAdminUser.

I followed every step given in the documentation

When I go to page TWikiGroups » TWiki Administrator Group and click on "Edit Preferences" button

I am getting following error:

Access check on WebPreferences failed. Action "CHANGE": access not allowed on topic.

Please Help

Thanks -Manoj

What kind of {LoginManager}, {UserMappingManager} and {PasswordManager} do you use?

Can you log-in successfully as "admin" and edit other pages as that user?

Hi Peter,

I am using following in LocalSite.cfg

$TWiki::cfg{LoginManager} = 'TWiki::LoginManager::TemplateLogin';
$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping';
$TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser';

I can login as "admin" but not able to edit anything on other pages, it gives same error.

Thanks Manoj

File permission issue? I am not familiar with Windows installs. Running the TWiki-VM under Windows gives you less headaches and better performance over a native TWiki install on Windows.

Hi Peter,

I updated "setlib.cfg" as described at http://develop.twiki.org/~twiki4/cgi-bin/view/Bugs/Item7487

my problem was solved.

Thanks
