Restrict viewing a topic

• To restrict viewing a topic only to users that are logged in, write the following on your Wiki page:

     * Set DENYTOPICVIEW = Main.WikiGuest
  

• To restrict viewing a topic only to your group members

     * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.GroupnameGroup
  

  For example:

     * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.MeteoSwissGroup
  

• To restrict viewing to a group of people:

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

  Please note that the list has to be separated with commas and one space is needed after the comma! A complete list of all Wiki users can be found here: WikiUsers

• To make a topic visible (and editable) only for you:

     * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.YourWikiname
  

Restrict editing a topic

• Please note that users which can not view a page, can also not edit a page

• Use ALLOWTOPICCHANGE to restrict editing a topic, for example:

     * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.YourWikiname
  

     * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.MeteoSwissGroup
