Thanks for responding and confirming Patrick.
Based on your information I went digging and found that at some point I (or possibly the
XWiki default) set XWikiAllGroup Edit rights to Deny under Administer Wiki > Rights
I set it to "allow edit" on the XWikiAllGroup and now the permission shows up.
I've then made sure the user is member of the group of the page with the Edit rights
and it seems to work. I need to do more testing and waiting for screaming.
Anyone from XWiki team care to expand on how we should be setting security?

Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Create Page Button not showing v8.1
I am on 8.2 and have had the same issue. The only way I was able to get the icon to show
up for users was to give the group global edit rights then exclude the pages that I
didn't want that group to modify, although this is not the route I wanted to take it
does work for my current implementation.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi All
Hopefully someone can help with this issue.
We are running 8.1 and some users are not able to see the “create page”
button. This is what I am expecting:
http://pasteboard.co/6y8jirpqd.png
Instead, the user sees this:
http://pasteboard.co/6y9FK2KQT.png
So I assumed it must be a permissions issue. So I checked that the
Group had the correct permissions to Edit (in this case I am using the
Sandbox as an example, but it applies to all other top level pages –
what were once spaces).
As you can see below, the XWikiAllGroup has View and Edit permissions
and the user can certainly see and edit the page. But I was sure that
having “Edit” also meant the ability to “add” pages. If “adding” is a
separate permission, please tell me where I can find this.

I have also tried giving the user directly ALL the permissions and
still the user doesn’t get the “add” button. Yet if I browse directly
to
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/create/Sandbox/ I get the create
page and I can successfully create/edit/save the page.
I have also tried:
• Giving all permissions to all the groups the user is a member of •
Different combinations of different groups • Removing permissions for
all groups and just giving the user permission directly • Looking
through the mailing list for any reported issues (though it was a
quick browse so I may have missed it).
• Checked that I do not have any overriding *.vm files attached to the
skin that would cause this
The next step will be to upgrade to 8.2 to see if this resolves it,
but I am not hopeful. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Any help please?
