+These groups can be used to define fine grained [[TWikiAccessControl]] in %WIKITOOLNAME%:
+
+- [[TWikiAdminGroup]]
+- [[EngineeringGroup]]
+- [[SupportGroup]]
+-
+
+Add your groups to this list and define new group topics similar to existing ones. Group topics **_must_** end in `...Group.`
+
+**IMPORTANT NOTE:** Think twice before restricting write access to a web or a topic, because an open system where everybody can contribute is the essence of the [[WikiCulture]]. Experience shows that unrestricted write access works very well because:
+
+- There is enough peer pressure to post only conform content.
+- Content does not get lost because topics are under revision control.
+- A topic revision can be undone by a member of the [[TWikiAdminGroup]] in case needed.
+
+**_Related topics:_** [[TWikiAccessControl]], [[WebPreferences]], [[TWikiUsers]], [[WikiCulture]].
