  Hi,
 Scenario:
        Create space XYZSpace
        Create user Xwiki.XYZAdministrator
        Give user Xwiki.XYZAdminister administrative rights in XYZSpace
        Administration link shows on XYZ.WebHome
        But, when Xwiki.XYZAdministrator clicks the link he's not
 allowed to view the Xwiki.XwikiPreferences page 
I think this is a UI problem, meaning that Administration link in the
upper right corner always goes to global administration and not to
space administration. Try
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/admin/XYZSpace/WebPreferences?editor=spaceri…
for example (simply change /XWiki/XWikiPreferences in
/XYZSpace/WebPreferences), are you able to edit rights ?
         So.. Xwiki.XYZAdministrator can't grant
view or edit rights to
 XYZSpace to other users
        So then... we give Xwiki.XYZAdministrator administrative rights
 to the Xwiki space
        Now he is allowed to veiw the Xwiki.XwikiPreferences page
        But, he can now grant global rights to any users
        Which seems odd to us
 The question is:
        How can a user that has administrative rights in a space, but
 has no rights in the xwiki space, be able to grant view or edit rights
 to other users in the space he can administer.
        If a space administrator can't administer users rights to the
 space he can administer what is the point of granting administrative
 rights at the space level?
        Please help.
        Thanks
        satya
