[xwiki-users] Set rights for parent page and recursively for all child pages of the page
Hello, how can I set rights for pages recursively? I created a new page and set the rights for this page. When I create a new child page, the child page inherits the rights of the parent page. And this is great. But when I change the rights of the parent page, only new pages inherit the new rights. All existing child pages keep the rights that were set when I created them. Is there any possbility to set rights recursively? So that changes to the rights of a parent page can be applied to all child pages of this page? Thx Enzo

It's something you did, right ? Because that does not exists in standard XE as far as I know (parent/children right inheritance I mean).
But when I change the rights of the parent page, only new pages inherit the new rights. All existing child pages keep the rights that were set when I created them.
Is there any possibility to set rights recursively? So that changes to the rights of a parent page can be applied to all child pages of this page?
There is a easy but not so clean way and a pretty hard but cleaner way on the long run: * you could write a listener (see http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Observation+Module+Loca...) which, each time a document right is modified, reproduce it's right configuration to its children documents. You can even add the support for new child page in the same listener so that you support when a document parent is changed. * the hard way is to modify the right system itself so that it look at document parent right before looking and document space rights. See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik...
Thx

You're right. The new site inherits the rights of the space not of the parent page. I checked this. Thomas Mortagne wrote:

Both solutions are not very handy. Is there any possibility to set the new rights recursively to the child pages via bash directly in the server? I don't understand why this very important feature is not included in Xwiki right now. Am I the only person that needs a feature like this? I don't think every person that needs that feature writes his own script or is even able to. There has to be an alternative. -- Enzo -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Set-rights-for-parent-page-and-recursively...

The first one is very easy to do but for a developer yes. Also it have the advantage other a simple script that it will take care of what you need all the time automatically. You would have to execute your script all the time.

No there is nothing existing in standard to do that. It's actually not really how we see parent document I guess. Setting right on space is usually enough but I can see how this can be useful for you. Maybe you can find something on http://extensions.xwiki.org
