Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Members of subwiki migration

Just to add some precisions: = What the migrator do = 1. Create a group XWikiMemberGroup, with XWikiAllGroup as the first

2. All global users of XWikiAllGroup are put inside XWikiMemberGroup and removed from XWikiAllGroup. 3. All rights concerning XWikiAllGroup are changed (ex: "view for XWikiAllGroup" -> "view for XWikiMemberGroup"). It does not break

since XWikiAllGroup is a member of XWikiMemberGroup. 4. All candidacies (ie: join requests, etc...) are moved form

to XWikiMemberGroup, to be consistent. 2014/1/21 Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau <gdelhumeau(a)xwiki.com> > Sergiu: > Exactly, I don't have to have all global users in the this group.
