-1 to remove it. ** I don’t think we’re using that information much and its need is supposed to go away once signed scripts is there
I will agree to remove it when signed scripts will be there. ** There’s no way to force pages requiring PR to add such an XObject and thus it’s not done consistently but it _could_ be done. If an application developer would like to do it, they should be able to do it. ** We don’t even have a page listing all pages requiring PR and even if we had one I’m not exactly what it would bring. I guess the idea was to make it simpler to install/upgrade XWiki but we’ve fixed this already in the Wiki Creation Wizard for example so the need is less now. There are extensions that use it, like Admin Tools: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-admintools/blob/master/src/main/resources/Admin/CheckProgrammingRights.xml#L327 Thanks, Anca On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 11:57 AM, vinc...@massol.net <vinc...@massol.net> wrote: > Hi devs, > > In xwiki-enteprise we have XWiki.RequiredRightClass.
