If we grant rights to a group of users to view a page, we would like to grant that right also to all the (sub)children of that page.

In a theory - yes. You should have event listener "on change" for parent page. In this event listener need to define your type of changes (only page rights changes), after - should search all child pages and make changes to its rights same as parent page. But in realty - mechanism of event listeners cannot work normally in production - for example, because it is not possible to have enabled event listeners after restarting application server. Every time after restarting need to starting event listeners manually. Of course, existing some possibilities to resolve this, bu all of them are not normally documented and looks like "roof on the roof". Existing and another problems with event listeners ... For the XWiki platform need to well-organized mechanism of event listeners ... For example, same how is organized Scheduler. Some place, where I can create event, select type of them, enable it, look for logs and etc. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Apply-rights-automaticly-to-child-pages-tp...

... Then we would retrofit wiki macros to use wiki component and we could have a specialized version for listeners too if we want but generally speaking you'll be able to register any component using a wiki page and objects. And they'll registered on startup. ...

It will be great! Nice to see, that Platform XWiki have good developing speed! For example, In one of latest versions added possibility to reusing variables between scripts inside wiki page. As I imagining, for administrators and not deep developers (who programming in XWiki only inside wiki-pages) - this is a great feature!!! Thanks for the good news!

I should have searched the Extensions first... http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Setting+Rights I guess we could use this as a starting point to read the $rightsObject of the current page and apply that $rightsObject to all the child pages...right? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Apply-rights-automaticly-to-child-pages-tp...

How can I "apply" or "set" the rightsobject? Here's what I have got: {{velocity}} #macro(setRightsSubPages $document $documentRightsObject) #set($translated = $document.getTranslatedDocument()) #set($name = $translated.getName()) #set($fullname = $translated.getFullName()) #set($prefixed = $translated.getPrefixedFullName()) #set($where = "where doc.parent = '$name' or doc.parent = '$fullname' or doc.parent = '$prefixed' order by doc.name") #if ($name == "WebHome") #set($space = $document.getSpace()) #set($where = "where doc.space = '$space' and (doc.parent = '' or doc.parent = '$name' or doc.parent = '$fullname' or doc.parent = '$prefixed') and doc.name != 'WebHome' order by doc.name") #end #foreach($name in $xwiki.searchDocuments($where)) #if ($xwiki.getDocument($name)) #set($document = $xwiki.getDocument($name)) #set ($rightsObject = $document.getObject("XWiki.XWikiRights", true)) ## HOW DO I COPY/APPLY/SET THE RIGHTS TO THIS OBJECT???? $rightsObject.set($documentRightsObject) ## Save the modifications $document.save() ## Call macro recursive #setRightsSubPages ($document $documentRightsObject) #end #end #end #if ($hasAdmin) #set ($rightsObject = $doc.getObject("XWiki.XWikiRights", true)) #setRightsSubPages($doc $rightsObject) #else You need to have Admin Rights to perform this action! #end {{/velocity}} -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Apply-rights-automaticly-to-child-pages-tp...
