Yes, you are right, I "simplified" the code a bit for easier understanding and
made the caps mistake. The current main wiki is 'xwiki' and I get it from
context.getDatabase() method.

Thanks for the tip!

On my <SpaceName>.WebPreferences, I only get a XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights object,
so I proceed to change the "levels" field, but anything changes whatever value
I put on it.

context.getMainWiki() must be context.getMainXWiki().

Inspecting the spaceRights.getXObjects(rightsClassRef) I get a treeMap that has
one item for each right, I'll continue testing how to mix allow/deny rights at
the same time, for example allow "edit" and deny "admin".
