We are in the process of evaluating Java based Wikis for integration into our company portal (based on Jetspeed 1.5). One key requirement is that each department should be restricted to its own private Wiki or a subset thereof. I have studied the concept of Spaces or Webs which might support this requirement. On the other hand, there is the possibility of setting up a Virtual Wiki for each department. (1) Is it possible to achieve the desired mapping from department to wiki? (2) Is there a preferred way of achieving said goal, i.e. what are the relative advantages of choosing Spaces or Virtual Wikis? (3) How do I identify a Wiki Space or Virtual Wiki resp., i.e. how do I make sure that each user is initially presented with "his" wiki? Please bear in mind that ressources allocated for this project are restricted and the product has to be delivered within a very tight time frame. So if the desired integration would be possible yet would entail considerable effort I would be glad to be told so upfront. Many thanks for your efforts, Olaf Bergner
Hi There, Currently, I am allowed to specify access rights for Pages and Spaces. But, the attachments that get added, you would still be able to delete them even???? Is there a fix available for this already or am I missing something? Any help on this will be appreciated! -Thank You, Rajgo
Hi There, On further testing, the access rights for the attachments also work the same way as they do for pages. But the Delete operation is always visible and but a user will be able to delete only if he has adequate access rights. I hope this will be fixed in future releases.

Hi, You should add an issue in http://jira.xwiki.org The change should not be too difficult adding a #if in the attachment template Ludovic Rajagopalan N a écrit :

Hi, Sorry for the late response. Given that your resources are limited, I suggest you would not use virtual wikis for this. Spaces will be highly sufficient. It is no problem to have user rights associated with spaces. The advantages of virtual wikis are also it's disadvantages: 1/ a different database which means also searching only occurs in one wiki 2/ a different user database (though you can share a global user database) 3/ you can have different skins for each virtual wiki What you can do is based on the users departement, include a redirect in the home page to send him to the right "space". http://yourwiki/xwiki/bin/view/Departement/PageName and in http://yourwiki/xwiki/bin/view/Departement/PageName include a script to handle the redirect based on fields in the user's profile.
