You just need the permissions to drop the WAR somewhere and you need
to ensure that the directory from where xwiki is started can be
written to by the process starting xwiki since it'll write some logs
in it.
Alternatively a better solution is to configure xwiki's log file to be
created where you want it to go.

From a user POV only groovy scripting can access
files on the
filtesystem and do dangerous things. This is why we have a special
right called programming right that is required for groovy scripting
and that you should only give to trustworthy people (admins in
general).
Okay, so if we have XWiki running on a dedicated server, and we set
user rights' appropriately, then the SecurityManager probably
doesn't add much.
I'm good with that.
No idea what you call location. Location
doesn't matter in general
and
By "location" I was referring to what the directory is called that
xwiki is installed into (eg. "xwiki" or "xwikifarm").
you don't even need to be root to install
xwiki.
How would this be done? Don't you need root permission to install
the WAR into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps ?
Ah ... I'm guessing you can "deploy" XWiki through Tomcat's
management app? Is this what you mean?
