Hi Patrick, AFAIK, there is no UI to reset the rights. One thing you could do to achieve that, would be to reimport the XWiki.XWikiPreferences page from the default XWiki Enterprise XAR [1] manually. You should also be careful not to override other settings you`ve made. Anyway, a lot simpler in your case, and probably recommended, is to enable and use the "superadmin" account [2] to log-in, fix your messed up rights and re-establish order in your wiki. Hope this helps, Eduard ---------- [1] http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/enterprise/xwiki-enterprise-ui-mai...

OK, I completely borked my wiki and space permissions/rights and have locked myself out of several spaces as both Admin and a user (the global permissions are all unchecked but I cannot see the wrench or click on "administer space" from my Admin account).

Any way to reset all privileges to the "factor defaults?"

I do not have any users yet, but have migrated all of our content over from our previous wiki.

Thanks, Patrick "Duh" Masson

Guillaume Ha! Thanks although it might be best to take my license away... All of the permissions are back to working as expected--thanks for your intervention. I am still trying to get a handle on the rights/groups/users dimension of XWiki. I do still have other issues, but I believe they are due to my lack of knowledge/experience more than anything not working. I need to invest some time in reading the various tutorials and such. Thanks for checking in. Patrick On 12/03/2013 09:15 AM, Guillaume Lerouge wrote:

Hi Patrick,

in the end, did you find a way out of this issue? Do you still need help? Do you need a carjacker to intervene and save the day?

Best,

Caty, We fortunately I always seem to have issues so I should be able to help ;-). Thanks, Patrick On 12/03/2013 09:39 AM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) wrote:

Hi Patrick,

Right now we are requesting feedback about Extension Manager [1], but in spring I will conduct an investigation on rights, so I will be interested in finding out what you find difficult, but maybe in another mail thread. Just remember your issues for then :) please.

Thanks, Caty
