Re: [xwiki-users] Stop User Renaming the page - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

7 Aug 2008

Hi Brian,
I think that's actually a bug on XWiki's side. I tested it on XE 1.5 and the
default behavior is that users that only have the edit right cannot rename
pages (they cannot see the "Action" menu in the topbar, whereas admins can
see it).

The only exception to this rule is on an user's own profile page where the
user, while being given only the edit right (as you can see if you edit the
page in object mode), can see the "Actions" button in the topbar.

There is no reason I can think of why this should be the case. Therefore I
think you can file a bug on http://jira.xwiki.org/ (in the XWiki Enterprise
project) to describe the issue.

Thanks,
Guillaume

  Hi,

 My original question perhaps wasn't so clear, I do want admins to be able
 to
 rename pages but I don't want normal external users to be able to do it. I
 suppose I could edit the skin/menu with an if statement but it strikes me
 as
 bad practice, what do you think?

 Brian

  Hi Community,

 I have to make my wiki with the assumption that the user will be as
 destructive as possible but should never see an error page. I want the  user
  to be able to edit their own user page, change
password etc. but when I  give
  them the edit right it also means that they can
rename the page which  would
  result in an error. Is there any way to allow
them to edit their page and
 change password but not rename it?

 You can always modify the menu to remove that entry. See
