Detail

Followup to Item3699. The current setting - which requires TWikiAdminGroup to be able to change WebPreferences - makes it impossible for anyone but TWikiAdminGroup to create webs, because WebPreferences is Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE to TWikiAdminGroup only. This might be appropriate for root webs, but for subwebs it's a total PITA. Additionally it causes masses of unit test failures.

A better solution would be to restrict access to the person who created the web; but the current settings are making hierarchical webs unusable.

Later: the same issue exists on the Main web, which causes most of the registration unit tests to fail.

Moved above comment from Item3699 to this new bug item.

-- TWiki:Main/PeterThoeny - 17 Mar 2007

Fixed to support setting permissions appropriately, and also transfer arbitrary variable settings over from the form (better for customisation).
