Re: [xwiki-users] [XWiki 7.3] Problem with group rights

Hi again, I've tested your suggestion with following results: - Page history gets updated, as follows: (...) 2015/11/18 09:07 - allow delete right for XWiki.TestGroup (...) - Nevertheless, no new entry can be seen in XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights, just the same previous entries for XWikiAdminGroup, XWikiAllGroup and Unregistered Users (I guess this last one by rights config, but no name is given) Now, a few interesting things I've found while playing with this: - It seems that if I save rights directly in object-mode they are stored correctly: if I reload this page in this same mode they remain configured. - After doing so and reloading the page, again in object-mode, by magic an entry for XWiki.TestGroup suddenly appeared. - However, this config is not reflected in admin view of this page: all checkboxes are now unchecked. - But! Now every right I configure in admin view (with checkboxes) is reflected in object-mode view. And another issue I've found: - If I navigate to individual group pages I get: "The requested page could not be found."
