Re: [xwiki-users] FAQ Application tutorial is incomprehensible

ok, I understand what you mean now: you’d like the ability to lock down existing applications, i.e. prevent users of them from making structural changes to them. That’s a valid use case and we support it :) Basically there are 2 use cases: * Letting users make changes to applications because this allows multiple users to develop collaboratively apps using XWiki. The idea is that of refactoring and an app is never ever finished and can always be improved. * However you may only want some experienced users or devs to do that and not anyone. What happens is that the app has 2 types of wiki pages (aka documents): * Technical pages that make the app * Data pages which are created by the user when he/she uses the app So what we do is that when we develop apps we usually create 2 spaces, one for the technical pages and one for the data pages. In this manner we can set permissions very easily on the space containing the technical pages so that only some authorized group or users have edit rights on them. Maybe in your case all that is required is to ask the phenotips developers to not allow all users to have edit rights by default on the technical pages of this app (and restrict them to admins by default for example)?
