TWiki uses visitor identification to keep track of who made changes to topics at what time and to manage a wide range of personal site settings. This gives a complete audit trail of changes and activity.

Partial AuthenticationTracking by IP address is an experimental feature, enabled inlib/TWiki.cfg . It lets you combine open access to some functions, with authentication on others, with full user activity tracking:
TWiki Username vs. Login UsernameThis section applies only if your TWiki is installed on a server that is both authenticated and on an intranet. TWiki internally manages two usernames: Login username and TWiki username.
NOTE: To correctly enter a WikiName - your own or someone else's - be sure to include the Main web name in front of the Wiki username, followed by a period, and no spaces. Ex: Changing PasswordsChange and reset passwords using forms on regular pages. Use TWikiAccessControl to restrict use as required.
