Question

Can you add % TOPICPERMISSIONS % for a topic from another (remote) topic?

I want to create an extranet for our customers and have distinct areas where only certain users can view and write. This way the whole web would be the "Extranet-Web" and the Page Customer1, Customer2, Customer3 would be only be viewable and editable for those customers, that have the rights.

I have used http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/WebPermissionsPlugin. But I cannot prevent the customer user from seeing this configuration panel:

.

This is a big problem, because every customer can see the whole list of TWiki-users. Other wikis use "spaces" for this problem. TWiki has "Webs" but how to manage let's say 30 to 60 Webs? I would like to prevent that.

Does anybody know a solution for that?

Environment

TWiki version:	TWikiRelease04x02x00
TWiki plugins:	Loads
Server OS:	Dunno
Web server:	Apache
Perl version:	5.8 ?
Client OS:	Windows XP
Web Browser:	Firefox
Categories:	Permissions

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

There are 2 solutions I can think of.

1. write some code to add topic=""
2. use a TML conditional to show the TOPICPERMISSIONS code only when an appropriate person views the topic.

The second is easier, but the first sounds like a good idea.

Sven: Unfortunately I am not capable of neither of the two. Can you help me and provide a snippet for the second?

Okay. I might adress one of my colleagues eventually with this problem.
