That doesn't seem to be the case, as I said, I turned off some of the rights
(View), and yet another right (Edit) for the same bunch of users was still
allowed. Switching off some of the rights did *not* have the effect of
switching off the default rights.
Or do I have to switch on some rights in order to get the behaviour you are
talking about?
thanks,

enough, I couldn't view the page.
However, I then went to this address:
http://domain.com/xwiki/edit/Website+Admin/
and the regular user was able to edit the page! which also includes a
'Preview' button, which shows them a View!
not good.
After I removed ALL the rights to the AllUsers group, I noticed that
unregistered users are able to view the space.
What happens when I add more groups to the wiki, will those users be able view the space? Or will they be covered by
AllUsers?
I don't find this intuitive... I haven't thought this through, but I
would've preferred to be able to switch OFF all rights, and then switch
on
the rights to the users/groups I want to edit.
Switching on some rights automatically has the effect of switching off
the default rights, which means if a right is not explicitly granted, it
is considered forbidden. Not very intuitive, I know.
