1. User01 to edit all groups B, D and E members users' profiles .
2. B group members, to edit users' profiles of group A members.
I'm almost sure I'm missing something obvious, but to the best of my
understanding rights management utility allows rights management on a per space and per
page basis, but it is not obvious how to manage rights as I do need to.
Rights are trusted based on XWikiRights objects instances in each "page". If it
is possible to manage access rights on spaces as a hole, or wikis in a farm, it is for
sure possible to manage users on per group basis. But I'm afraid I don't know how.
Rights are indeed set per page or space. Thus, you could give group A
the right to edit pages (including users) in the space XWiki, as all
users are in the space XWiki. What I normally do is group all pages in
a space for easy access management, but from what I understood it's
not advisable to move users to a space other than XWiki.
Perhaps you could script something so when a user is added to group A,
predefined rights (periodically or directly) are set for these
users/pages.
But I don't even know if there's an API call for setting access rights..
