Hi,
This looks good.. I'm wondering wether the API should be in
XWikiGroupService or if we should add a new XWikiUserService api.
Concerning retrieving inherited rights we could have this API
Map getInheritedRight(String SpaceOrPage, List rights ("view", "edit",
"comment", ..))
It would return a Map of Lists { "view" : { "XWiki.XWikiAllGroup",
"XWiki.XWikiGuest" }, "edit": {"XWiki.AdminGrgoup",
"XWiki.LudovicDubost" } }
If the list is empty at the parent level it will need to go at the upper
parent level (until it hits the global level).
