That is not my point.
The wiki is open for editing, but only to registered users, and some spaces
are only available to a subset of those users. Its mostly to prevent
vandalism, plus some pages people want to only share with their particular
group of users.
There may be many many users, and if its "open by default" then it becomes
more difficult to figure out who could have access to what.

It was suggested in the official XWiki Upgrade documentation,
see bottom of page here:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation
I assumed the core team would only mention quality extensions in
documentation like that.
Hi,

For example, an unregistered user can access the /xwiki/Admin/RunQuery
page,
which could be used to run queries directly on the database, for example
select * from xwikipreferences
Does this give anyone else a heart attack too??
I don't think this "extension" is part of the standard XE/XEM release.
should be careful when installing extensions.
Yes this extension is a contribution and is not written or supported
by the XWiki Core team.

much harder to configure.
It's a wiki, and wikis are supposed to be open by default. If the the
default behaviour is "closed", it would be hard for a normal user to a space and allow other users to contribute
content (he'll have to wait
for
the admin to open that space).
This is only my personal understanding and I'm not a professional XWiki
user, so let's wait for some other views as well.
Yes it's exactly that, wiki that only an admin can contribute to is
not a wiki... maybe a CMS.
Also making default XE distribution private is very
easy you just have
to setup global rights and you are done for the whole wiki.
How do I do that ?
