NullGroup
NullGroup: a group with no members whatsoever
The purpose of this group is as follows:
If one wants to require a login for
viewing a page (or web),
one has to set either ALLOWTOPICVIEW (or ALLOWWEBVIEW) or
DENYTOPICVIEW (or DENYWEBVIEW).
See
AccessControl for details.
If nobody of those who can login shall be excluded from viewing,
one would have to have a group representing
everybody to
add to ALLOWTOPICVIEW. This is cumbersome to maintain, therefore we
do not do it this way.
The alternative is adding a group representing
nobody to
DENYTOPICVIEW, which is what we do.
The page you are looking at is the group to be used
for that purpose:
NullGroup.
Summing up: to require login for viewing a page, add
" * Set DENYTOPICVIEW =
NullGroup"
to that page.
