Hi all,
I'm still trying to move a private Wiki from Confluence to Xwiki, now 9.1.2.
I just cannot find my way to the access rights system.
What I need:
A page tree like this:
A
A.1
A.1.1
A.1.2
A.2
A.2.1
B
B.1
B.1.1
B.1.2
B.2
B.2.1
C
C.1
...
And the following mechanics:
No anonymous access, only logged in users.
Users belong in group A, B or C - possibly more than one of them.
Users of Group A should see the top page A and subpages in the navigation panel.
Users of Group B should see the top page B ...
Users of more than one group should see all corresponding pages.
Beneath the top pages all users should have full create/edit/comment/delete rights.
Simply speaking: I'm trying to achieve what can easily be done with Confluence
spaces,
now that Xwiki removed them for some reason.
Users working on project X should see only pages (and navigation tree) of project X,
while the board of directors should be able to see and work on all projects.
Subwikis won't do because of the "multiple group memberships/board of
directors"
requirement, if I read that part of the documentation correctly. So I need nested pages.
Any hints on how to configure this would be greatly appreciated!
Second, I want all applications, blog, sandbox, ... gone from what users see. When I
try to delete these pages I get the warning that I should instead remove the extension
...
Users should see a hierarchical navigation panel on the left and the page on the right
and rest of the area in the browser. Simple and clean. Nothing (!) else.
Possible?
Many many thanks in advance! I don't want to complain about free software and of
course
I could "just buy Confluence" instead. Unfortunately a regular license is way
out of budget
for our small organisation and we have outgrown the 10 users you get for the "almost
free"
starter license from Atlassian. When I first found Xwiki I was so excited it would
support
spaces, only to learn that they were removed again ...
Thanks in advance!
