Re: [xwiki-users] [Proposal] about login and document information

Hi! Sergiu Dumitriu wrote: A lightbox will be nice. What I would like to avoid is that an users that "decide" to log in, is moved to a different page to perform that action. A lightbox will allow him/her to "see" the page from where he/she hits login and, at the same time, username and password fields and recover username and password links are not visible in the browser "desktop". I do like this option. Thanks. I see now how hard is to figure out a text that could be useful for the whole XWiki community. For us, here, some think like this... "Log-in... to recover access to Space.Document and other documents with restricted access" Being Space.Document the current document when the user logged out. The length of the document Space and Name could be a problem to accommodate the string in the space available... Something like this... http://ebiotic.net/bin/download/ICT/CustomizedLogin/loginXWikimod.png I can of course customized our own login.vm. This work is on its way. Well... impressive. I've slightly followed this thread as I was not actively following XWiki development last June. I must apologize about that. As stated by several contributors, rights management are not an easy thing, even less when inheritance is involved. I've been struggling to understand the proposal and I think I get it. And I do like at the extend I am able to understand the background of rights management in XWiki. But the "problem" for me here, right now, is to find an easy way, as easy as possible, to show an user, probably an user that doesn't matter at all about XWiki interiors, what other users/groups can do what with a given document. Namely, who can read and/or edit a document. The use case is simple: given a document containing some contents set to private, an user, an also an administrator, feel her/himself more confortable if she/he can see, let's see, in a tab in the same row where comments, attachments, history and information, or even within the information tab itself, what other users can read and/or edit the current document. Users who what to customized this access policy, whatever regular users or administrators, must deal with the new rights management interface. In the current state of development, as for XE/XEM 2.4.1, to see, out of the box, what users can read/edit a given document, the user must set his/her user type as advanced, go to the document, edit > access rights, browse through users and groups to see what rights are set. I know that in many other systems is not simpler than this, but my concern here is to transform XWiki in "the system". So, yes, I mean a kind of read-only version of the rights editor, listing only the entries with some rights set. Thanks for your time, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.
