If the Main web (or USERSWEB in general) is write-protected, new user registrations fail because TWikiRegistrationAgent does not have ALLOWWEBCHANGE privileges in Main.

Unless it breaks something, TWikiRegistrationAgent should be added to Main's ALLOWWEBCHANGE by default, in case new installers write-protect their Main. At the very least, a note or comment should be placed above the area where you set the access-control variables in Main . WebPreferences.

Marking urgent per Lavr, so that this gets seen.

Closing After Release 4.2.4

This was a mistake - admins require more work to do.. so reverting this in this release after listening complains from a few admins...

I opened Item6223 to track the reversal of this change for 4.3 release.
