Question

I must have not set something correctly. In my TWiki at work, if an unauthenticated user tried to edit a page, it redirects to the login screen. After they login, they can edit.

The wiki I set up, if you are guest and try to edit a page, you get a most user unfriendly page that says:

Access Denied Attention

Access check on [my web].[my topic] failed. Action "change": access denied on web.

If you click OK, you end up at Main (a useless location out of the web I am using for content)

How do I need to configure things so that when users click edit, they can login and edit?

Better yet, how do I set it up so that they can be seemlessly redirected to registration, so new users will not be lost?

The only thing I have done so far, for access control, is modify the site preferences to limit editing to the TwikiAdmin group. Actually, I cannot find where I did that now; I just know that initially, the thing was wide open and when I clicked the edit button without logging in first, it allowed me to edit as TwikiGuest! I had to lock that down right away.

I know there must be a topic on this; feel free to point me there.

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.

I reworded this to a simpler, more specific question in the hope that someone would answer it.
