[Moin-user] ACL Group problem?

[Andrew Premdas]

Dave,

Can't tell for sure if your AdminGroup page is doing this but ...

If there is more than one space before an entry on the group page it will be
ignored 

e.g. using ^ to represent spaces

^*WikiName     (works fine)
^* WikiName    (works fine)
^^*WikiName    (doesn't work)

This is of course real obvious once you know it, but it took me several days
to work it out!! 

I put some extra help in the moin moin help pages see

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnAccessControlLists

All best

Andrew

Subject: [Moin-user] ACL Group problem?

Hi,
This is probably a very simple problem but I can't seem to resolve it. 
Basically I'm unable to get groups working with ACLs.  The goal is for any
user to be able to read (including anonymous) but only members of AdminGroup
can edit pages.

Running the latest version of MoinMoin, ACLs are enabled in
site/moin_config.py (lines wrapped by email):

acl_enabled = 1
acl_rights_default = "AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert All:read"
acl_rights_before  = "TestUser:admin,read,write,delete,revert
AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert"

I then created a page (leaving acl_enabled=0 to allow creation of the page
then changing it to 1) "AdminGroup" with the following contents:

#acl AdminGroup:admin,read,write All:
   *SiteAdmin
   *TestUser

Two users, SiteAdmin and TestUser were created.  Since they are both on the
AdminGroup page, I expect that they can both edit any page on the site.
Instead what happens is that TestUser is able to edit any page, but
SiteAdmin is not.  Changing acl_rights_before to:

acl_rights_before  = "AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert"

Means results in no one being able to edit pages.

The expected result is that either TestUser or SiteAdmin should be able to
edit any page, but instead it appears the Group information is ignored, and
only users explicitly entered in acl-rights_before are able to edit.

I'm sure this is a simple config problem - Any suggestions?

thanks,
   Dave V.
