Hi Graeme,
May I ask you what version of XWiki Workspaces your Uni is using ?
The bug you reported looks very similar to a combination of
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWS-33 &
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWS-41 that have now been fixed...
I tried to reproduce your issue locally on a XWiki Workspaces 1.0 instance
(not a RC nor a Milestone, the final 1.0 release) but couldn't.
1. I created a private space and a dummy user
2. I invited the user to the space as an author
3. The user can see the space, create new pages, edit blog articles...
4. I made him a Reader, he could only view pages and add comments...
5. Basically O've got stuff working fine so far...
It would be great if you could undertake those 2 steps (in that order) :
1. Download & Install the latest release of XWiki Workspaces and try
to reproduce your issue
1.
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiWorkspaces
2.
http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/GettingStartedWithXWikiWorkspaces
2. If you are able to reproduce it, send an email here detailing
all the steps you undertook + details about your configuration (XAR, WAR,
server, whatever you can think of)
3. Check on
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWS whether other bugs
have already been reported
Thanks for using XWiki Workspaces and taking the time to report those bugs
to us,
I hope everything will be working fine for you soon !

We've just installed Workspaces for our students to use but have a
problem with space rights. When an student is added
as an Author to a
space they can see the space in My Memberships but are unable to view or
edit the space. When they are added as a Reader they can see the space
in My Memberships, cannot view the space but can edit the space. We are
able to use Admin to go in and correct the space rights manually but
this will become unworkable as Workspaces become more used. Have we
made an error or is there a fix? It appears that space rights are
reversed?
