I then added my ordinary users and wanted to give them edit rights only (once they have logged in). I saw that all users are in the Xwiki.XwikiAllGroup and figured this would be a quick and simple way of achieving this (but I assumed that “admin” had God like rights!) so I changed the settings to:

> Access Levels: edit

Should I create a new group called AllNoAdminGroup and assign access levels to the ordinary users that way thus protecting the God like admin account?
