And what do you think of :
xwiki.user.hasProgrammingRights() ?
I think Rights is a cross cutting concern that spans across both Users and Documents (and possibly other stuff too). I would definitely see it as a component in itself and not inside either User nor Documents.
In this way it's nicely decoupled and could be implemented in different manner in the future: using a rule engine, using AOP, etc.
I totally agree with this. But in the context of a page content/xwiki application writer, what do you think is more natural : - xwiki.user.hasProgrammingRights() or - rightManager.hasProgrammingRights() ? I like the first solution, because the right is associated to the user, and that fact is clearly expressed, even if the logic of the right management is delegated to a RightManagement entity under the hood (that's what an API is made for, isn't it ? ;-) ).
