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. > That was part of the problem.

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

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.
