Hi,
is there a special reason for that,
Is this is for security issues since one wiki in a farm could
endanger
all the wikis in the farm very easily since a local user would get
access to a powerful API.
To be more detailed, a user with programming rights has absolute
access
on the whole server (using Groovy), and in a public farm if a wiki
admin
gives himself programming rights, he can seriously affect the entire
server. Imagine if somebody could do anything on the whole Blogspot
farm...
and is it
planned for a future release to have the possibility to
have programming rights in a virtual wiki?
No.
It depends. There is an issue on
jira.xwiki.org about having an option
for this, defaulting to false, but there's no requirement for this.
Programming rights are really a dangerous thing, I don't see any
need to
grant them to anybody except one global account that decides what is
safe.
Indeed, if you need programming rights for a given api maybe a better
way would be to provide that API without programming rights (if it's
safe).
What's your use case?
Thanks
