Hi, Is there a way to add users and manipulate permission via the XWiki API? Can someone point me to documentation on how to do it (if it exists)? Thanks, Evan

The basic way is to use the plain Object manipulation API, since all users and rights are normal XWiki Objects. You should read: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API For creating users, a helper method is com.xpn.xwiki.createUser(String xwikiname, Map map, String parent, String content, String userRights, XWikiContext context) (no javadoc, you should look directly at the code to see what it does). For manipulating rights I am afraid there are no helper methods to set rights, but there are a few to check rights, see in the XWiki API class. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Here's a code snippet that may help too: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/SettingRightsSnippet Thanks -Vincent
