A workaround for the moment is to use rights like this:
- Global rights:
-- Admins (a group of your choice) can edit
-- The rest of the users cannot edit
- Rights for each editable space:
-- All the users can edit
The disadvantage is that you must always assign the proper rights for
each new space. The advantage is that it works, and it needs a few
minutes to setup.
This works by the fact that rights are looked upwards: rights for the
page, rights for the space, rights for the wiki. In an existing space,
the right to edit will be granted in that space. For a new space, since
it doesn't have any rights, the rights for the wiki will be taken into
account: admins can create a new page, the rest of the users can't.
This is hard since we don't have an explicit
notion of space. A space
is created when a document is created with that space name. However
you could perform some validation when the user saves the document if
you want. See the notification tutorial on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Tutorials
In the future this will be easier. For the moment, manual exclusion is
the only way.

- How can I make some spaces like xwiki,
Main, and especially
Panels, Stats invisible for any user except the admin user. I do not
want
them into index or even when in the search.
They're already supposed to be invisible (for xwiki, panels, stats).
If you want to add other spaces, check the index page content and the
search page content. You'll see the code that excludes some pages/
spaces.
