Hi,
you hit just one of the items we're working on trying to make easier to
understand and use. This means that right now things are a bit in flux, and
not quite finished.
Right now you can run 2 wikis on the same instance with local users per
wiki. We're working so that this is still possible (and easier to achieve!)
by the end of the XWiki 5.x cycle, which will be XWiki Enterprise 5.5. That
release is scheduled for early next year, so if you can wait until then
you'll be able to avoid a couple upgrades.
Best,
Guillaume

Thanks for the information Vincent. It's cleared
up some confusion.
I thought I was on the latest XWiki but looks like I'm on 5.1. I'll work
on upgrading to 5.2. In 5.2 are wikis stored in the same schema like
workspaces or does XWiki create a different schema for each? It sounds
like it'll still use the same architecture as workspaces but just renamed
to wiki.
From what I understand, it's not possible to run 2 Wikis on the same
instance with local users for each Wiki?

Hi,
I've been using XWiki within my team at work and would like to expand
adoption of it across different groups. While doing research I was
thoroughly confused by the differences between Workspaces, SubWikis,
Wikis,
multi-tenancy, etc…
They all mean roughyl the same thing and starting with 5.2 we’re merging
all concepts together. We’re removing the terminology “workspace” in of “wiki” (or “subwiki”).
Application
What I would like to do is be able to run one
instance of XWiki and be
able
to create separate Wikis (in different schemas).
Within each Wiki I'd
like
to allow users to create their own Workspaces (I
think I'm using that
correctly).
Nope ;) A workspace is a subwiki with no local users (only global users).
Example:
- IT Wiki
-- Bob's Workspace
-- Alice's Workspace
- Finance Wiki
-- Joe's Workspace
-- Jane's Workspace
I want to be able to keep the users separated between the IT Wiki and
Finance Wiki but allow shared users for the Workspaces under each of
those

like Wiki Manager is the old
way
of doing
it and it's being deprecated.
These are installed by default starting with 5.2.
There’s no notion of nested wikis though so what you wish to do is not
possible.
What you can do is have a flat structure with 4 wikis:
- Bob IT wiki
- Alice IT wiki
- Joe Finance wiki
- Jane Finance wiki
or have 2 wikis with spaces:
- IT wiki
— Bob's **space**
— Alice's **space**
- Finance wiki
— Joe's **space**
— Jane's **space”
You should really use XWiki 5.2 (and 5.3 when it’s out since we’re
currently working on this topic to improve it), it makes all this
Now yes you’re right in that you can install Wiki Manager Application.
Workspace Application won’t help you since it create subwikis that use
global users only.
Thanks
