I'd like to make this change: Add to xwiki.api.Document saveAsAuthor() saveAsAuthor(String comment) saveAsAuthor(String connent, String isMinorEdit) deleteAsAuthor() Add to xwiki.api.XWiki getDocumentAsAuthor(DocumentReference reference) getDocumentAsAuthor(String fullName) I created an issue for it and posted a patch http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5041 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/attachment/16920/XWIKI-4952-CommentAddActi... The context user is momentarily switched to the content author of the document in the context before doing the action. I think the script editor should be responsible for the api method calls because they can only be called from script. I also see a lot of potential benefit in allowing a script to manipulate documents which it's viewers cannot save. I think this will reduce the amount of pages requiring programming rights. WDYT?
