Re: [xwiki-users] List with Checkboxes

[Jesse Bright]

Thank you for the suggestion. For now I am just going with macro inserted HTML 
because the lists are not user generated and do not update much. This was very 
helpful though because it set me on the right path for a different aspect of my 
site. Thanks again!

Regards,

Jesse

As a thought experiment, if instead of local xwiki users, you used an
external LDAP instance and something like PWM
https://github.com/pwm-project/pwm, people could self register via PWM
which would give them login rights, and then an administrator could
add the account to the appropriate xwiki group(s), or add the account
to the appropriate LDAP group(s), with the LDAP groups being used in
xwiki...

I have no experience with doing this.

Cheers
