Hi developers! In Workspaces, we used to add global users in the XWikiAllGroup page of a subwiki to indicate that they are members of that wiki.
Now, we have an option called "user scope", and we can have both global & local users in a subwiki. That means we have global & local users in XWikiAllGroup. Then, it is a problem because it can not work when XWikiAllGroup is a virtual group [1]. Then, I have proposed to create a new group, called XWikiMemberGroup, that hold the members of the subwiki. (Note: XWikiAllGroup will be a member of XWikiMemberGroup, in order to say "a local user is a member"). So, I have written a migration (again!) [2], to create the new group with the current content of XWikiAllGroup. In this migration, I also changes all existing rights that occur on XWikiAllGroup to make them effective for XWikiMemberGroup. I did not want to duplicate these rights by just adding the sames for XWikiMemberGroup. I think it is easier for the user to only take care of the XWikiMemberGroup. But it looks a bit "magical", and some people don't like it. I would like to have your opinion. +1 for adding XWikiMemberGroup and to "migrate" rights (replace all rights given to XWikiAllGroup by rights given to XWikiMemberGroup). Thanks, Louis-Marie [1] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9886 - Enabling virtual XWikiAllGroup breaks wiki membership [2] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/compare/feature-wiki-members - Git branch for this proposal _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
