TWikiGroups » TWiki Administrator Group

This is a super user group that has access to all content, regardless of access control. This group has also access to the configure script to do system level configuration.

TIP Both settings accept a comma-space delimited list of users and groups in WikiWord format. Groups can be nested.

How to login as TWikiAdminUser

ALERT! NOTE: If you lock yourself out of TWikiAdminGroup during setup activities or have forgotten the configure password, you can unset the configure password by editing the lib/LocalSite.cfg file and deleting the line that starts with $TWiki::cfg{Password} and then set it again by saving your settings in configure.
