Hello Dan,
Better reply to the list than to myself directly so that knowledge is
available for everybody and searchable through the archives.
Concerning your problem, I have a question : did you imported the
"prepared XAR" over an already imported XAR ? If this is the case, it
means you were probably logged-in with the local administrator, and not
the one from the manager wiki. In this case, you should first delete the
local administrator (delete the XWiki.Admin page) and reimport the
prepared xar, as global admin.
Hope this help, tell me if it was your problem.
Jerome.

Jerome,
Thanks for taking the time to write the tutorial.
I believe that I've followed the instructions to the letter, but still
have the same result as before.
I was a bit confused by the instruction to:
"Connect to your newly create wiki, and *login with the credentials of
an administrator of the manager wiki*."
After creating the empty wiki from the wiki manager (logged in as
Admin), I then go directly to the new, empty wiki. I'm now able to
import the archive that was prepared according to your instructions,
by navigating to "/bin/admin/XWiki/Import". (Am I already logged in
correctly, or do I have to log out and re-log in as some other user
name? I tried xwiki:Admin, and that gave an error.)
After importing the archive, I still can't create workspaces, the
Admin user is still listed as a Simple Member, and the arrows to
promote members to Power User or Global Admin are still not present.
Cheers,
Dan
Hello Dan,
Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces.
I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on how to
setup a XWiki Workspaces farm:
http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspace…
You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to the
last section
(http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspace…)
where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to be
saved with programming rights, and how you can "prepare" the XAR to have
this done automatically when importing it.
A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a
smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances. Unfortunately
we are sometimes facing an issue when doing this with XWiki Workspaces,
so I will only add this section once this is resolved.
Regards,
Jerome.

No, I started with a completely fresh workspaces. No local Admin user.
In fact, in the "Links" panel, the "My Profile" link points to the
Admin user on the xem site.

Ok. Them, could you verify your admin has programming rights ?
Just write the following in a wiki page (using the wiki editor) :
<% print 2 + 2 %>
If it is interpreted, then your user has programming rights (and then I
wonder what your problem can be...), if not, he does not.

Indeed, it must be something else, and I could not reproduce this
behavior :(
Could you run the following line from the manager wiki, and verify it is
actually "xwiki:XWiki.Admin" and not "XWiki.Admin" :
$xwiki.getDocument("yourwiki:XWSCode.CreateNewWorkspace").author
(where yourwiki is the wiki identifier you used for the workspaces wiki).
Also, can you look into the logs of the web app to see if there is

Jerome,
I think I now have it working. I edited the database by changing the
xwd_author, xwd_content_author, and xwd_creator fields in all entries
in the xwikidoc table from 'XWiki.Admin' to 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin'.
e.g. UPDATE XWIKIDOC SET XWD_AUTHOR = 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' WHERE 1=1;
I can create the main workspace, and other workspaces. I can also
promote Simple members to Power user or Global admin.
Do you think I'll run into problems using this workaround?
Thanks,
Dan
