Duplicate of Item9766, only on (I guess) a more recent codebase, because that one is from before 1.1.0 came out.

On a new FW 1.1.0 install I have created a TestUser and put it into a TestGroup. In a TestTopic, I'm trying to set access control via the NatEdit "Permissions" button. Selecting Specific users/groups, autocomplete shows me my TestUser but not my TestGroup. Adding TestGroup anyway, the following is written to the TestTopic.txt:

%META:PREFERENCE{name="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" title="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" type="Set" value=""}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW" title="PERMSET_VIEW" type="Local" value="details"}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" title="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" type="Local" value="TestGroup"}%

This has no effect on access permissions as everyone still can see this topic.

Another try: Removing TestGroup from Specific users/groups and adding AdminGroup, which is shown by autocomplete. This does make the topic invisible to the public. TestTopic.txt now reads:

%META:PREFERENCE{name="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" title="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" type="Set" value="AdminGroup"}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW" title="PERMSET_VIEW" type="Local" value="details"}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" title="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" type="Local" value="AdminGroup"}%

Now removing AdminGroup and adding TestGroup again finally messes things up completely:

%META:PREFERENCE{name="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" title="ALLOWTOPICVIEW" type="Set" value="AdminGroup"}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW" title="PERMSET_VIEW" type="Local" value="details"}% %META:PREFERENCE{name="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" title="PERMSET_VIEW_DETAILS" type="Local" value="TestGroup"}%
