Re: [xwiki-users] How to configure search behavior in xwiki?

Hi Sergiu, Then you should take care of how you grant view rights to the group page. I guess it should be enough to make only one change: on the group page, grant view right (and you should also grant edit right) to the group itself, without specifying any other grant/deny rights. With above configuration also user is able to search and view user details who belongs to other group :(
