Hi,
a web crawler keeps deleting documents in our Wiki. Meanwhile we have a robots.txt, but it seems to ignore that.
Of course, you should never allow unregistered users to delete documents, but you know that already… ;)
In the global rights the unregistered user is explicitely denied edit, delete and admin rights. Nowhere are such rights set to allowed. What are we missing?
Personally I never use deny rights. I simply enable the rights for the user/group that should get the rights. The others are denied by default. You should also check rights at 3 levels: - global - space level - page level
The deleted documents do not turn up in XWiki/DeletedDocuments. Is there any way to restore the deleted documents?
Only from a backup.
This is an absolute desaster atm, any hints greatly appreciated!
We'd need to see your full rights setup to help me. You could check http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Access+Rights (not perfect doc though) to understand rights a bit more. It won't help you but FYI we're planning to redesign the rights UI to make it even easier to use: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights Thanks -Vincent
