Re: [xwiki-users] Removing the Register Link
I apologize for my very delayed response. Yes, I did explicitly deny the guest user access to Register. Here's what I found when playing around with the permissions this morning. I don't want anyone to register so I explicitly denied all groups access to Register. I also denied unregistered users Register access. This scenario does not remove the register link. However, if I allow any of the groups access to Register the link then gets removed. I'm not sure if this is related to what Vincent said about group permissions or not. Did you forbid the right to the guest also? The guest appears when you select Users instead of Groups, and is the first entry, above the filter, called Unregistered Users. To remove the registration link completely, you can override the global.vm template in a custom skin. Admins will still be able to use the Administration-Users interface to add users. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Nick Watts blog: thewonggei.wordpress.com ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] Removing the Register Link
Hi, We need to modify http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/RightsManagement to explain this. I think Jerome is working on this. Basically when you allow a right to a group it means the other groups won't have it allowed unless you explicitely allow them. I don't full remember the rationale behind this, maybe Sergiu or Ludovic can help here. That said I do agree it's not self explicit and I'd be for changing that although that would be a big change (we need to discuss it for when we're going to rewrite the authorization module).

I tried registering a fake user and it worked. After playing around for a while I figured out that I had to actually grant Register access for the XWikiAdminGroup group to get the Register link to disappear. If I deny Register access or just leave it blank for the XWikiAdminGroup group the Register link is present and works. This is backwards to me. Without looking at the code it seems like a logical error somewhere. Could someone tell me whether I'm understanding this process correctly or not? -- Nick Watts blog: thewonggei.wordpress.com ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
