That is the case already ! The only thing you have to take care of is that "regular users" (without programming rights) do not edit pages that needs to be saved with this programming right. To do this, the best practice is to write the code in a protected space (like XWiki/), where such regular users cannot edit, and to include that code from the target document (in space Main/ or any other space). This way, if somebody does edit the target document, the code that needs programming rights will continue to work for everybody. Jerome. > > >> What's your point of view about this?
