I agree with Edy. In the "wiki farm" case, you want to restrict subwiki creation to admins.
could you explain why?
In the "workspaces" case, you want any user to be able to create a workspace.
Personally I don't see any difference. With Caty's proposal D (and B), there's only 1 concept too so making a difference doesn't make any sense. The only different is that for the "farm" use case you allow local users and I don't see why allowing local users should make a difference in who's allowed to create a subwiki or not.
Basically, what they said is that you may want to allow more users to create wiki without local users. So, does is means two different rights ? On right to create any kind of subwikis, and one right to create only subwikis without local users (workspace case). Do you see the difference now ?
Thanks -Vincent
I don't have feedback about the best option to handle this from a technical point of view.
We have not seen the end of this debate...

Hi,
When you are mixing subwikis with workspaces into a single 'wiki' notion, you are creating problems for Admins that want to have a mixed setup (both workspaces and subwikis). They might want to let regular users create workspaces but allow only admins to create subwikis.
Regarding your proposals, I'd be +1 for a createWiki right (B). However, there are 2 problems here: 1) Lack of consistency with the other rights since we don`t have any createSpace/createDocument rights now. Would be nice though to have CRUD rights for each element in XWiki's model (wiki, space, document, class, object), but that's a different topic. 2) Same problem as above, there is no distinction between wiki and workspace and no way to allow one over the other.
Proposal A does not help much and Proposal B would be just a hack for a first implementation (not for the long run).
In the current implementation, a way to limit workspace creation is to assign specific 'view' rights to the WorkspaceManager.CreateNewWorkspace document. Wiki creation is only available to admins, but if we remove that limitation from the wiki-manager-api java code, then the same thing can be done as for workspaces.
Thanks, Eduard

Since we are integrating Workspaces to XE, I propose to add a new parameter to set who has the right to create a new subwiki.
-------------- Proposal A: -------------- We had a new item in the administration menu. This item is used to know what level of right is needed to create a new wiki. Examples: * any user who have the 'edit' rights on the main wiki also has the right to create new wikis * any user who have the 'admin' rights on the main wiki also has the right to create new wikis
-------------- Proposal B: -------------- We create a new right (since we can thanks to Denis) called "SubWiki creation right", and this right is needed to create a new subwiki. Then we can add it to XWikiAllGroup or XWikiAdminGroup.
-------------- Proposal C: -------------- We create a new group called 'XWikiAllowSubWikiCreationGroup', and everybody who is on this group can create new wikis.
---- WDYT?
