Actually this looks completely as expected - in both cases. If you see request coming in
the localhost_access_log, my guess about some javascript error is out.
The special rights for the anonymous user are stored as flags in the
"XWiki.XWikiPreferences" object; this reuses the normal XWiki "save"
action by POST-ing the values.
Good they are saved :)
The detailed group / user rights instead create a separate
"XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" in the preferences page, which contains detailed
information about what groups/user get what right, etc)
This is saved by a separate helper template (templates/saverights.vm on the file system)
that does ... something more complicated.
If you see no error in the UI and get back a status of 200 the helper template finished
to do its job properly, however.
You can check what happens behind the scenes in the following page (the "object
editor"):
/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object
Can you try to check in a separate browser tab if anything changes with the
"XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" when you set a right in the admin
(You need to reload the "object editor" page manually after every change, it
does not automatically update itself.)
The easiest way to check is if you create a new group first, and then only give it the
"delete" right - this is most likely a new combination
and should create a new "XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights" visible in the object editor.
Alternatively you can check that a new page version is created at:
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?viewer=history
If this is happening, then the data is actually saved; the problem is actually why it is
not properly displayed when you visit the "Rights" page again.
If this is not happening, the server refuses to store the data (very odd).
I hope we are getting closer slowly ;)

Hi again,
FYI I am running XWiki in Tomcat and MySQL, clean install (not migration).
Well, I've been playing with browser console as Clemens suggested and I can't see
any error in client side.
I think request is reaching server as I can read the following both in *Network tab in
Firefox* and in *localhost_access_log* when I check any of the group rights:
/*GET*
/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?xpage=saverights&clsname=XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights&fullname=XWiki.TestGroup&uorg=groups&form_token=F1Tx3ax0rIGsf8noimHySQ&action=allow&right=view
HTTP/1.1" 200 7/
However, unregistered user rights (the ones below group table rights) are working fine!
Note that I can see a different behavior in this case: POST instead of GET. As follows:
/*POST* /xwiki/bin/save/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?form_token=F1Tx3ax0rIGsf8noimHySQ
HTTP/1.1" 204 -/
I thougth issue was related just with group rights but it happens also with user rights
(except for unregistered ones).
If I can help you with more info just ask it!

Hi all,
I'm trying the new stable version of XWiki (7.3) and I'm facing problems with
group rights.
I'm unable to keep them set, as if I leave Rights page and then come back again all
rights I've tuned up remain unset (reseted to "default" I think...)
Is anybody else having this issue? Any workaround?
Thanks in advance!
To me it looks like your changes are not stored on the server.
Can you see if you get any errors in the Javascript console (Ctrl-Shift-J in most
browsers) when setting rights?
The same browser tools often have a "Network" tab. Do you see any network
traffic there when setting rights?
(every time you click on a setting, there should be at least one bit of network traffic
sending your changes to the server instantly)
It would be great if you could post your findings as this will help to reproduce the
problem.
Clemens
