Hi, to add access rights to a space, you have to add an "XWiki.XWikiRight" object to the page <spacename>."WebPreferences". I have not tested it, but it should look somewhat like: DocumentReference spacePrefsReference = new DocumentReference( context.getWiki().getName(), spaceName, "WebPreferences") XWikiDocument spacePrefs = context.getWiki().getDocument(spacePrefsReference, context) [...] then add the "rights" object like you did in your code, except that you add it to spacePrefs instead of groupDoc. (I guess you also need to set rights.setStringValue("levels","view,edit"); instead of doing two calls) Do not forget to save spacePrefs, too. hope this helps, clemens On 04/19/2014 08:14 AM, Daniel Ebanja wrote:

Hi Developers, i like came up with this. It functions just well, but i have a problem: I have to safe all 3 Documents as you can see in the code below. -What if the Users created some other pages or add attachments to that space and don't set the rights so that only members of the group should see the stuff in the space? I guess i will have some space with some hidden docs and some public. -So how could i set the rights globally for the space? -I am trying to do this upon authentication. i.e user transmits me the name of the group and space to create upon Authentication.. Problem is at the time of creation the user is not yet logged in. So i see space created by unknown User. -Could anyone please help with some ideas. Thanks Clemens, and thank you all in advance. The code: protected void addUserToGroup(String xwikiname, XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException { // // Create a group and add the user to the newly created group. BaseClass groupClass = context.getWiki().getGroupClass(context); // Get document representing group.
