Perhaps I misunderstood what you were looking for.
Trac is an open system: the default behaviour is to allow any user -
even unknown users - to create or be assigned tickets. This default
behaviour is demonstrated on the trac.edgwall.org web site.

However, IF you set the restrict_owner option, this default behaviour
is replaced with a list of known users. It's up to you.

I understood your question as "is there no way to tell Trac to
restrict the list of users?", I might have understood it the wrong
way. I though that you did not find a way to enable this kind of
feature.

Well, the Trac web site is a wiki, and the documentation can always
been improved. Any user can contribute, so feel free ;-)

Sorry if you understood my answer as pedantic, it was not meant to be
this way - at all.

Personally, I don't: I want to integrate Trac in an existing
environment, I do not want to have to deal with just another user
management system, I want it to fit in the existing environment.
Plus, I don't want to rely on a hand-crafted authentication system,
but on HTTP/Apache authentication schemes, as there are few chances of
security holes - as they are more widely used.

However, many other people have many other needs and expectations, and
that's the beauty of plugins. It's quite easy to use an existing
plugin, or to write a custom one.

> To me that's not a good thing.

I understand this.
Some other people, including myself, feel otherwise.
