Wiki Access Control

General information about Wiki Access Control can be found at AccessControl

The default access control of the IAC Wiki

Most of the IAC Wiki can only be viewed by users that are logged in.
An exception is the Public Web.
Please put topics that should be visible worldwide without a login into the Public Web.
Wiki pages can only be edited by users that are logged in.

How to change the default access control rules

IMPORTANT: Use for the following Set statements inside a bullet list. Don't forget the three spaces before the asterisk!

Restrict viewing a topic

To restrict viewing a topic only to your group members write the following on your Wiki page:
```
   * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.GroupnameGroup
```
For example:
```
   * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.LinuxAdminGroup
```

To restrict viewing to a group of people:

   * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.WikiUser1, Main.WikiUser2, Main.WikiUser3

To make a topic visible (and editable) only for you:
```
   * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.YourWikiname
```

If for some reason, you would like to make a topic in a closed Web visible without login, you can always overwrite the default access control rule (Set DENYTOPICVIEW = WikiGuest) with
```
   * Set DENYTOPICVIEW = 
```

Restrict editing a topic

Use ALLOWTOPICCHANGE to restrict editing a topic, for example:

   * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.YourWikiname

   * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.LinuxAdminGroup

Hint

You can hide the Set-statement with a HTML comment, for example:
```
