Hi all,
I'm facing here some troubles while setting up virtual wikis by hand and
would like to understand how this feature work.
In XWikiServerClass we add two properties: server and owner. The role
and functioning of server is far clear. I also understand owner as a
neat need: "the owner user of the Virtual XWiki; for example
XWiki.Admin" as stated in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualization#HByhand,
or "the user that should automatically have admin rights on your new
virtual wiki (example XWiki.admin)" as in
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToSetupVirtualWikis.
But I've configured a number of virtual wikis here and I am not able to
find their owners anywhere. Neither in the controller database, nor in
their own databases.
Please, where these owner users are created? Thanks!
Ricardo

I've tried to delete all owner values in my virtual wikis. Even to
create new virtual wikis with this property empty. I've not tried with a
XWikiServerClass without it.
Please, could anybody confirm that the content of this property is no
longer used in the set up of a virtual wiki?
I will modify accordingly the concerned pages in the documentation. I
will also create the related JIRA issue.

Hi,
the owner property of XWikiServerClass is a main wiki user that will
have all rights in the virtual wiki your XWikiServer* document
describe. Said another way, this will not create a new user but "give"
a virtual wiki to an existing global user.

Thus, please, what is the role of this owner user? I have tried by changing
the content of this property and even by leaving it empty and these actions
seem don't affect the access to virtual wikis. Thanks.

Thanks, Thomas. But, please, allow me to post some more doubts. I do
hope they are not stupid questions! I am trying to understand the login
process to apply this knowledge to test the proposed LDAPAuthenticater.
1. What does mean that the owner has ALL the rights on the virtual wiki?
2. Will the owner been able to log in the virtual wiki without
needing to create it? Or it is expected that it is created and
then "inherit" complete control on the wiki?
3. May I consider the owner as a global user able to log in the
virtual wiki/wikis he/she own and in the controller?
I know I must be able to find the answer by digging into the code.
Please, give me some more time. Thanks for your patience.
Best,

Technically this user could be any user in any wiki but in general
it's a wiki controller/main wiki's user.

Thanks Thomas. Do you consider suitable to add this information to
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualization#HByhand
? Perhaps a #warning() ? Something like...
#warning(This user can do all he wants in the virtual wikis: read/write/delete any page,
configure user/groups rights, etc. and he can't loose these rights even if all rights
are set as "deny" for him.

If an user, let's say, XWiki.dummy exists in several virtual wikis and
it is set up as owner for one of them, what syntax must I use to tell
the controller what is the one I am referencing to? Thanks!
Cheers,

The real name of a user is wikiname:XWiki.dummy for example as main
wiki is always "xwiki" to be sure it the XWiki.dummy user from main
wiki you can set owner to "xwiki:XWiki.dummy".

Done! Thanks.
Just two simple questions more:
1. Does this user has programming rights? Nope, as far as I see here.
Only Admin user has programming rights on any virtual wiki.
2. In the string xwiki:XWiki.dummy, are the name of the wiki and the
name of the space optional? Are there defaults for these values? I
mean...
*xwiki:XWiki.dummy = dummy ?*
Thanks for your help!
Best,
Ricardo

Owner should have all the right, in fact the way it works when you ask
for any rights to hasAccesLevel method it first test if user is
superadmin/owner and return true if he is.
By default Admin user don't have programming rights. "admin" level
means all rights except "programming". To have "programming" right
you
have to explicitly give to Admin programming rights.
In the string xwiki:XWiki.dummy, are the name of the
wiki and the name of
the space optional? Are there defaults for these values? I mean...
xwiki:XWiki.dummy = dummy ?
Not exactly:
- the default wiki is the current wiki. If you are in the main wiki
then it's "xwiki"
- yes the default space is XWIKI
Thanks for your help!

Ricardo
