Hello,
I have a problem to set up the right page permissions (or may be I have a understanding
problem ... ) using XWIKI 9.3
I want to set up access permissions to a certain page and to all children of this page.
- A group "XWikiAdminDocumentation" was created.
- A page "Administration" was created to be filled with documentation for
administrators only.
- Only members of group "XWikiAdminDocumentation" should have access to page
"Administration"
(and all coming child pages of "Administration").
- At page "Administration", menu "Administer Page - Users and Groups -
Rights: Page & Children"
I set up the following permissions:
--- ALL rights to groups "XWikiAdminDocumentation" and
"XWikiAdminGroup".
--- NO rights to groups like "XWikiAllGroup" and "XWikiGuests".
--- Please, have a look at the attached screenshot (sorry fort he "German
screenshot" but the screenshot should be self-explaining I hope).
- The problems are:
--- First thing: As an administrator I can't forbid the right "Admin". Yes,
I can disable this right. But if I open the menu
"Page Administration: Rights: Page & Children" a second time the former
set right "is lost" (see screenshot).
--- Second thing: Despite oft he defined page permission rights a user of the group
"XWikiAllGroup" kann read and edit
the page "Administration". Much worse, this user can also open the
"Administer Page" menu and he can change the permissions.
I found no corresponding exceptions in the xwiki.log, therefore, from a technical point of
view every thing seems to be okay.
Now, I have no more ideas what elso to do :(
Kind regards, Thomas
