[xwiki-devs] How can I dynamically add group rights to a space?

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

I don't see how this code would lock you out.
Especially the superadmin activated in xwiki.cfg should be able to log 
in and view any pages.
Other users should still be able to see pages in spaces not being spaceName
Was spaceName == XWiki. In that case try viewing pages with ?xpage=plain 
to make sure
