Hi John,
thanks for using XWiki. Notwithstanding Dale's inappropriate commercial
plug, there are a couple things you can explore:
- Create a process class with a validation status ("under review",
"validated"...) [1]
- Create a groovy script that listens for changes of the value of the
status property and updates a XWikiRights object attached to the page based
on the value of the validation status property [2]
- -> when the status changes, the script will apply appropriate rights
to the page
- -> you can list only "validated" on the homepage of one of your
Hope this helps,
Guillaume

Hello again, XWiki community.
I am working on using XWiki to be the repository for a library of process
documents that will be added to and updated on a constant basis by members
of our team. It looks like it's going to be a great resource for us.
However, I do have a question that involves rights and permissions. Our
manager
wants to incorporate an approval process in the process document
wiki. She wants users to be able to edit existing process documents and
create new process documents, but for those documents to go through a
technical/style review by supervisors before they are published for use by
the team. I don't see a way to manage permissions/rights to make that idea
work for the wiki as a whole, though I can see a workaround for new process
documents (force them to be created in a "Review" space). Is there a way to
make user edits go through a review process before they can be published/go
live?
I realize that this goes against the basic concept of a wiki in some
ways, and I
explained to our manager that we have version rollback
capability, but she wants these controls in place prior to publishing.
Can anyone offer some guidance?
