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.

> | No special installation steps are required if the server is already authenticated. If it isn't, you have three standard options for controlling user access: | | |
- Forget about authentication to make your site completely public - anyone can browse and edit freely, in classic Wiki mode. All visitors are assigned the TWikiGuest default identity, so you can't track individual user activity.
- Use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer; HTTPS) to authenticate and secure the whole server.
- Use Basic Authentication (.htaccess) to control access by protecting key scripts:
attach, edit=, installpasswd, preview, rename, save, upload using the .htaccess file. The TWikiInstallationGuide has step-by-step instructions.

Tracking by IP address is an experimental feature, enabled in lib/TWiki.cfg. It lets you combine open access to some functions, with authentication on others, with full user activity tracking: | | | | |

> | TWiki Username vs. Login Username | | |
This section applies only if your TWiki is installed on a server that is both authenticated and on an intranet. | | |
