Is there any way to backup the user/group permissions, set the entire Xwiki to read only then revert to the original permissions at a later date? We are handing one of our XWiki to another team, and during the transition, we don't want any changes made to the XWiki during this transition process. Sam

One simple trick is to write in xwiki.cfg: xwiki.readonly=1 and restart the container. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

I think Sergiu was referring to your web server. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_container http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servlet_container#Servlet_containers Hope this helps, Marius

Indeed. If you don't have control over the server, then perhaps you can ask the administrator to do this for you.

Shoot, problem. What if I have an XWiki Farm and I only want to change the XWiki to read-only for one of the xwikis? Sam On Mar 4, 2009, at 4:04 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:
