Re: [xwiki-users] User Rights on Bulletin Board application

Hi Jason We have the Bulletin Board application installed. The last step in the Setting up rights for the Bulletin Board application depends on what exactly you want to be able to do. To sum things up quickly, each bulletin board is created in its own space and rights work like this : 1. To create a new bulletin board, you need to have either global admin rights or at least admin rights in the BBCode space. 2. To create new categories in a given Bulletin Board, you need to have admin rights in that Bulletin Board. 3. To create new topics and post replies in a Bulletin Board, you need to have at least edit rights. 4. To read posts in a BB, you need to have at least view rights. The BB application inheritates its rights management system from XWiki Enterprise core rights management. If you want to make a topic restricted, you'll have to edit the page rights of the page where it is stored. The easiest thing to do is to create your bulletin boards in different spaces depending on who should be able to access them. This way you'll have the opportunity to manage their rights quite easily. If you want to edit the rights for a category or a topic, you'll indeed have to do it page-by-page, manually. This is a design issue of the application (it might go one step too deep : Wiki -> BB -> Category -> Topic looks long), but right now it's how it works :-) Hope this helps, Guillaume
