enough, I couldn't view the page.
However, I then went to this address:
http://domain.com/xwiki/edit/Website+Admin/
and the regular user was able to edit the page! which also includes a
'Preview' button, which shows them a View!
not good.
After I removed ALL the rights to the AllUsers group, I noticed that
unregistered users are able to view the space.
What happens when I add more groups to the wiki, will those users be able
to
view the space? Or will they be covered by AllUsers?
I don't find this intuitive... I haven't thought this through, but I
would've preferred to be able to switch OFF all rights, and then switch the rights to the users/groups I want to edit.
At the moment there are
a
few places where you could accidentally leave
access open to spaces that
should not be open.
There is a way to achieve this. In your wiki's administration, give all
rights (green checkmark) only to the XWiki.XWikikiAdminGroup . Leave all
other boxes blank. In practice, this will deny all rights to anyone on the
wiki but for the admin group.
Then you can add rights iteratively from there.
