When you import as backup pack (liek it used to be before the new importer) all the other of the document are the same than the authors you have in the xar and in a default XE all documents have XWiki.Admin as author who has programming right in a default XE. > I wish there was a way of having a multiwiki refer to the "root" wiki's Xar > file contents, or even better, that there was a "template wiki" containing a > shared copy of the Xar for all wikis.

Well you can configure template wiki the way you want and when you create a new wiki it's used to populate the new wiki if you choose it as template in the create wiki UI. > This would also alleviate the need to give or use superadmin in a subwiki. > Any superadmin-needing documents would reside in the template wiki and > would be inherited into the subwiki and granted programming rights there. > That way, one could tightly control the use of programming rights in a > subwiki, where a set of safe programming rights scripts would only reside > in the template wiki, and subwiki's could only reference prog-right-having > documents deemed safe enough to use in the "template wiki".
