Hi,
I have been testing XWiki over the last few days with the view to using it within our Institution.
One thing I haven't been able to do as yet is to put different access rights on individual sections of a document. It seems that XWiki only allocates access rights to the document as a whole.
Is this possible and if so how to do it?
It isn't possible with the default code, but it can be added if you write a java class that extends com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiRightServiceImpl and performs this check. If you are prolific in Java programming, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to understand the current rights management class and add what you need.
If it is not yet possible, is likely to be in the future?
By default, no. It's too specific for general usage, and, as the others already said, there's a workaround for this. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
