Detail

The docco in IfStatements very reasonably says
allows 'X' allows 'Y' is true if web/topic 'X' exists and allows access mode 'Y' for the current user. Web access rights are only checked if there is no topic called 'X'.

unfortuanatly, the change in [[ Item5500]] to the topic creator does not work.

It feels like a case of For want of a Unit test, the feature was lost as i added:

 Fn_IF::test_ALLOWS_and_EXISTS

%IF{"'TemporaryIFTestWebIF.NonExitantLazyFox' allows 'change'" then="1" else="0"}%: '0' at /home/sven/src/twiki/twiki/branches/TWikiRelease04x02/lib/Unit/TestCase.pm line 151

    Unit::TestRunner::start('Unit::TestRunner=HASH(0x604fd0)', 'Fn_IF.pm') called

and so, I'll be fuxing that for 4.2.1

This is complicated by the non-specification of what %IF{'NonExistant' ... is evaluating. Is it a web, or is it a topic? especially if neither exist.

my fix changes that from for some reason assuming it is a web, to assuming its a non-existant topic in the current session's web, thus enabling testing as I do above, where I specify the web and topic.

this will require the following test to change.

    push(@tests, {
        test => "'NotAHopeInHellPal' allows 'view'",
        expect => "0"
       });

the fix is:

What do you think Crawford?

I agree it should be interpreted as a topic. That's the TWiki naming standard, and%IF should be consistent. Your fix is correct, IMHO.
