[xwiki-users] Allow normal users to modify page access rights
Hi, I want to give all users the ability to change Access Rights on the pages they create. I've noticed that only admin group has this ability. When a user creates a page, I would like that "Access Rights" appear on the Editor drop down menu. This page access classification by the author is nothing but essential on my Xwiki instance at my corp. How can I do that? Ramon Gomes Brandão

Any user that can edit a page can also edit the rights for that page. There are two kinds of users, advanced and simple users. This is set from the user's profile. For more details, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdvancede... Simple users have a simple edit menu, with just one entry, the default edit mode for a document. Advanced users see the full edit menu. So, it's not that only administrators can edit page rights, but that administrators are by default advanced users. So, there are two options: - tell users that they can edit page rights if they switch to "advanced" - change menuview.vm so that the "advanced user" check is omitted -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
Hi Sergiu,
So, there are two options: - tell users that they can edit page rights if they switch to "advanced" - change menuview.vm so that the "advanced user" check is omitted
I've choosen the second option, because I want to make it transparent for the user. I've cut out, in templates/menuview.vm, the advanced user check. But the modifications have not worked. I've also changed the order of the edit menu options, to test, and they were not reflected on the edit menu. It seems that it's looking on some other vm file, or other overriding configuration. I've also changed skin/colibri/editmenu.vm, but no success. There's other menuview.vm on skins/colibri/menuview.vm, but on it there's no velocity code for the edit menu. I've refreshed the browser, cleaned the cache, but nothing. How can I succeed on it?

Right, for Colibri the relevant file is skins/colibri/contentmenu.vm -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
