Resending as plaintext
Hi All
Hopefully someone can help with this issue.
We are running 8.1 and some users are not able to see the “create page” button. This is
what I am expecting:

Instead, the user sees this:

So I assumed it must be a permissions issue. So I checked that the Group had the correct
permissions to Edit (in this case I am using the Sandbox as an example, but it applies to
all other top level pages – what were once spaces).
As you can see below, the XWikiAllGroup has View and Edit permissions and the user can
certainly see and edit the page. But I was sure that having “Edit” also meant the ability
to “add” pages. If “adding” is a separate permission, please tell me where I can find
this.

I have also tried giving the user directly ALL the permissions and still the user doesn’t
get the “add” button. Yet if I browse directly to
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/create/Sandbox/ I get the create page and I can
successfully create/edit/save the page.
I have also tried:
• Giving all permissions to all the groups the user is a member of
• Different combinations of different groups
• Removing permissions for all groups and just giving the user permission directly
• Looking through the mailing list for any reported issues (though it was a quick browse
so I may have missed it).
• Checked that I do not have any overriding *.vm files attached to the skin that would
cause this
The next step will be to upgrade to 8.2 to see if this resolves it, but I am not hopeful.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Any help please?
