Func::saveTopicText() 's ignore-permission-feature does not work as advertised. If you set $ignorePermissions to 1, Func::saveTopicText() will not check permissions, but the underlying Save::saveTopic() will.

I don't know, if this ever worked. Obviously nobody is missing it.

If somebody confirms this behaviour, I will clarify the inline docco.

It's easy to circumvent this problem with the following code:

# sudo :)
my $user_backup = $session->{user};
$session->{user} = Foswiki::Func::getCanonilcaUserID("SomePriviledgedUser"));

my $oops = Foswiki::Func::saveTopicText( $web, $topic, $text, 0, 0 );

# un-sudo
$session->{user} = $user_backup;

Dunno how this ended up as low priority. Raised to Urgent. MichaelDaum noted that this function also ends up with permissions being checked twice.

This behaviour is actually different in trunk; the access rights that are checked are those expressed in the new topic text, instead of the old. I assume from the date of Oliver's report that he was testing 1.0.x, so that must be something different. I have added a unit test to 1.1.
