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 [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Title+Post+Processing+U...

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?
