Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. Just so we are clear I have just installed the
"Graphical Installer for Windows" version of 8.4.4 to test to see if it is
something to do with my installation. After installing and without even logging in on any
account the cog is there with the only option to copy which against thankfully won't
allow you to copy. This wasn't present on the previous versions I have used (pre
7.4.4)
Regards

jira.xwiki.org
XWiki Platform; XWIKI-12937; Impossible to copy a page if the user has no edit right at
the wiki or space level
checks only if the current user has view right on the
current page because
we cannot know where the user will copy the page. The user may have edit
right on some specific place in the page hierarchy and iterating all the
page hierarchy to see if such a place exists is very costly.
Checking for real-only is super fast though so I agree
we should do that:
show the copy action if the current user has view right on the current page
and the wiki is not in read-only mode.
I think I made a confusion. I was thinking about the wiki's read-only mode,
which bypasses access rights, and which can be used to hide the copy
action. If you're referring to users and groups that don't have edit right
at wiki level then, as I said in my first part of the reply, we can't do
much about it because rights at page level overwrite those a wiki level so
even if you deny edit right for a user at wiki level he may still have edit
right on some page deep inside the page hierarchy, thus he needs to be able
to copy a page there.

Hi,
I have recently upgraded our xwiki from 7.4.4 to 8.4.4 and all seemed to
go well, however one thing has come up in that if a user or a group has
read only access to the Wiki on 8.4.4 the cog is appearing with just the
option to Copy. I have tried to copy a page with a read only test account
and it will not allow the copy which is fine however any ideas why the
option is showing and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?
Regards
