Otherwise any local subwiki admin would be able to modify anything anywhere in the farm. I agree that an improvement would be to NOT show this column in the admin of subwikis. You could create a jira issue for that IMO. Thanks -Vincent

Please start by explaining what you did precisely. I still don’t know what you’ve done. I explained different cases where what you did wouldn’t work but I’m guessing since you didn’t take the time to explain what you did… I’ve lost a lot of my time already, trying to help you and trying to guess what you did… Thanks -Vincent On 13 Mar 2014 at 14:33:43, Hamster (teunham@hotmail.com(mailto:teunham@hotmail.com)) wrote:

Have you tried to restart the WebServer application? I don’t know the reason but the new rights management methods is not working in my XWiki 5.4.2, So, in order to update the permissions that I have set I need to: Or restart my tomcat each time that I change my rights in any page/space/wiki Or configure the Xwiki to use the older Rigths management method though the xwiki.config (you need uncomment the xwiki.authentication.rightsclass=com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiRightServiceImpl line) I am guessing that your rights is not being updated as your environment too. In other words, I am wondering that you agave access to the admin user but the xwiki did not update it. Danilo Grupo Energisa Danilo A. Oliveira Analista Suporte Aplicacao TI - DPTO CORP.
