TWiki - can't create new webs

[Dan Kruitz]

Have installed the new TWiki ("version TWiki-5.0.1, Sun, 10 Oct 2010, build 19570, Plugin API version 1.3")
and get the following error when attempting to create a new web:
"Access check on Main.WebHome failed. Action "CHANGE": access not allowed on root. "

Seems like the bug occurs because the TKL created 'AdminUser' account does not quite have full admin privileges (this is my assumption - not based on research).

There has been a fix proposed here: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20101222/twiki-installed-cant-add-new-webs#comment-9353

There is also a temporary workaround noted on that thread as well (although obviously the fix is the better way to go).

As always, thanks for reporting the issue. I've committed a fix which will be included in the upcoming release.
The fix is actually quite simple, and not sure how the bug got through our testing.

To fix this issue in currently deployed appliances, add the AdminUser to the TWikiAdminGroup:

/var/www/twiki/data/Main/TWikiAdminGroup.txt

- * Set GROUP = TWikiAdminUser
+ * Set GROUP = TWikiAdminUser AdminUser
