[xwiki-users] Prevent regular users from creating new spaces
Per the documentation at: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Access+Rights#HPreventre... You can restrict the creation of new spaces to users with administrative privileges by following these steps: In the global rights, deny write access to the XWikiAllGroup group and the XWikiGuest user and allow edit access to the XWikiAdminGroup group In each space rights, allow write access to the XWikiAllGroup group However looking at the "Administration: Rights" at 'mywiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin§ion=Rights#...' I do not see a an option for "write access" as mentioned in the documentation. Is this the same as "edit" as listed in the Groups & User permissions table? Also I do not have an XWikiGuest group (as I do not have a public wiki) but just want to be sure I am working though the right admin panel.

Yes.

XWikiGuest is a user, not a group, so to see it you have to switch the table from Groups to Users. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu
