The problem:

In order to add access for AnotherUser to one page in a restricted web, it is necessary to append AnotherUser to the list of everyone who already has access.

The following should work:

   * Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = %ALLOWWEBVIEW%, Main.AnotherUser

Instead, it appears to be setting ALLOWTOPICVIEW to AnotherUser (only).

It looks right on the screen but it's not actually working.

Apparently the only legal entries in an ALLOW or DENY are WikiNames or GroupNames. Variables are not evaluated before setting the ALLOW/DENY

This is not only surprising but misleading and inappropriate.

A variable that expands to a list of WikiNames or GroupNames should also be permitted!
