Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Should "delete" rights be considered at the document level?

Hi, I agree with this, especially given the use case described by Dimitry a couple weeks ago where an user with edit rights on a page were able to give himself the right to delete it. In addition to this, it's quite rare to have to assign this right at page level. "Delete" is a clean-up right that usually makes sense at the space level (at least), less so at the page level. Side question: does this have an impact on the right to rename a page? Is the "rename" right mapped to the edit or the delete action?

So I'm +1 to remove the "delete" right at document level. Guillaume On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 4:32 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu<sergiu(a)xwiki.com> wrote: > Rights have different scopes in XWiki.
