New subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki access rights

12 Apr 2006

If the user is registered on your wiki specifically, you can delete
them from the admin page XWiki.XWikiUsers. If they are registered on
xwiki.com, maybe an xwiki.com admin (of which a number are active on
this mailing list)  can help - what's the offending user name?

Does this mean spambots have figured out how to register on xwiki.com?
In the long run we might need one of those twisted text image
human-verification things. :)

Regards,
Robin.

  Hi Robin, yes, the spam came for a registered user
unfortunately...
 Do you know if there is a moderator who could do something about it,
 such as close his account or something?
 Thanks again!
 Carine

 Hi,

 To ensure only registered users can edit or add comments, go to 'More
 Actions' -> 'XWiki Access Rights', then set:
     * Groups: XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, xwiki:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup
     * Users:
     * Access Levels: edit, comment
     * Allow/Deny: Allow

 XWiki.XWikiAllGroup represents all users registered on your wiki.
 xwiki:XWiki.XWikiAllGroup represents all users registered on xwiki.com

 Then do save access rights.

 But I thought this was the default for wikis on xwiki.com now. Is the
 comment spam coming from a registered user?

 If you have defined a group of your own, you can restrict to
 XWiki.YourGroup instead of XWiki.XWikiAllGroup.

 Regards,
 Robin.

  I just opened an account on xwiki and a wiki, and
found an unknown  user who posted thousands of links to pron websites.
  How to prevent that? How to make the wiki
available only to a specific  group?
  THanks
