Thanks Guillaume, You're right - I don't. I suspected that might be the issue, but hoped there's a way around it. Shall I send someone the list of pages that needs to be saved with programming rights? Or is there a way I can programming obtain rights for myself? Also, I think there may be another issue - the code that sets privileges on the pages is common to several sections, so I refactored it into a script page I include in the classSheets for various classes: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/scripts/DesObjClas… I'm worried that the macros on this page are not evaluated when a new page / object is created. I have a feeling that the right way to go about this is by adding some helper classes in Java, rather than hacking it in Velocity. But again, I do not have the privileges to do that. If other people find this issue relevant, I'm happy to contribute my time towards a generic, stable solution. A reminder: the core of the problem is that I want to allow users to create objects (and respective pages) in a space, and to have ownership over those objects / pages, but without giving them overall edit rights on the space. ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737 ------------------------------
