It will if it display the inheritance source in a column. For right set at current level this column could even precise what inheritance has been overwritten, both in terms of allowance and origin. Denis. Hi Denis, Something like this: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights51Space Yes, something like that. I would have expected a back to basic button in place of advanced, and the removal of the basic interface to avoid duplicating basic rights. Maybe the menu should be horizontal in the advanced interface, I do not know. Also add some hyperlinks to upper level in the column explaining inheritance. And put the highlight of changes over the rest of the row (includes name and inheritance) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights51Space About: I would have expected a back to basic button in place of advanced, and the removal of the basic interface to avoid duplicating basic rights http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/rights52Space.png This removal of the basic interface will be set from the user profile's variables (if it has advanced type)? No, just removed when the advanced interface is shown using the advanced button, like you have done. I mean if the user is advanced, all the rows will be presented in advances? No, the only thing I proposed is that user that are not set Advanced user in their profile, will not be presented the advanced interface link, and will never see extended rights. I'm asking because I think the collapsed view is great to see changes up in the table, where you don't care the advanced status of those rights. I completely agree. Advanced interface is for understanding and fixing deep complex stuffs WDYT ? Is this interesting ? it's nice :P I would love to see some other opinions. Yes, could it be possible for you to fix the interactive version to hide the basics and also to have hover and click work as expected. I think it will helps in receiving more feed back with causing confusion. Raluca offered to help me fix the interaction. I found the result really well suited now. There is just some improvement in color contrast, icons aspect, and so on that should be applied if we get approval for this proposal. Once you have fixed the sample, I think that a summary page (resume of our reflexion, and containing only the final proposal) and than a vote thread could be appropriate to receive feedback from other committers, since the size of this thread could be pushing back. Yes, a summary+vote is needed. I made a version with pagination and filters added. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights51Space PNG for the filters: collapsed: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/filtersCollapsed.png expanded: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/filtersExpanded.png What do you think? Could this filters be helpful? Are too powerful/complex/useless? Not sure we really need all these. What is important for me is: - local, global, all user type, with local by default - local, inherited, implied right - user/group name filtering See: Collapsed: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/filters2collapsed.png Expanded: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/filters2expanded.png The rest could be convenient, but it also takes unnecessary horizontal space, which is annoying IMO. From an implementation point of view, can a livetable have more than one filter per a column. No problem if we use only the .js without de livetable macro. Anyway this will be a custom livetable, because we also need to integrate the add user part and the save/reset buttons. Yes, it will probably be so. Also, from an implementation point of view, should we enable multiselect (ex. to select multiple rights)? I have made recent fixes for that in the livetable.js, so this is not a problem. Obs. Right - Sources - Implicit refer to the rights that come from the setting of another right (example: admin means implicit view+edit+delete+comment; creator means implicit delete). Would this filter option be useful or it is too much? Doesn't this also include implicit settings when no right has been set anywhere ? IMO, when no right has been set is a special case, the Default values. We could see it as implicit, but actually I think they are more like inherited (from the code

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rights Management UI
Some more comments: - The last icon-labeled field (currently depicted by a key) could be Other rights, not Advanced - The key does not suggest other rights (nor advanced) to me. Maybe use a word instead of an icon (More.., Application rights)? - I'm not sure the folder with a user in it is a good representation for a group. Usually a labeled folder stands for a space with a certain purpose. Why not use the group.gif icon (two users)? - I propose to put an explanatory word next to each icon in the dropdown.

Advanced interface is for understanding and fixing deep complex stuffs WDYT ? Is this interesting ? it's nice :P I would love to see some other opinions. Yes, could it be possible for you to fix the interactive version to hide the basics and also to have hover and click work as expected. I think it will helps in receiving more feed back with causing confusion. I found the result really well suited now. There is just some improvement in color contrast, icons aspect, and so on that should be applied if we get approval for this proposal. Once you have fixed the sample, I think that a summary page (resume of our reflexion, and containing only the final proposal) and than a vote thread could be appropriate to receive feedback from other committers, since the size of this thread could be pushing back.

I'd made the icons larger (at least 24x24) and add more contrast (right now inherited rights look like disabled GUI controls to me), especially to the dropdown menu, view right icon and inherited right arrow from the menu. I think that the tooltip can be added on mouse click. This would imply adding a nice question mark instead of that small arrow, and the user would click anywhere on the span with the class name summary. And another improvement would be to add more padding to the drop down menus. Caty is currently using the secondary background color, right? Maybe we should use the highlight color, but I'm not sure of that. Thanks Raluca. Yes, a better solution is be to increase the padding and also use $theme.backgroundSecondaryColor (or a darker tone). The problem is that on default theme, backgroundSecondaryColor is a gray color and the contrast with the gray icon is not that good. In terms of interaction I think hover on tooltip and click on arrow for changing the rights is better. The user browse the rights to see the inheritance and see what those rights means, and when he made up his mind he clicks and change the right. There are more cases when the users is just browsing the rights, inspecting or see rights meaning, than actually change them; so the harder activity (clicking) should be put on changing the right. The small arrow is a sign that there is a menu. If the menu will appear on click, the arrow is necessary to work as an invitation and also to keep the consistency with actionMenus. Raluca, do you think we should use bigger icons, like Alex suggested? Maybe if we put enough padding and we work a bit on the contrast (backgroundSecondaryColor, highlightColor) this won't be necessary. No, the icon size is ok. I modified a bit proposal 5.1 (I hope it's ok with you Caty, otherwise we can revert the changes and add proposal 5.2) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights51Space . I added more padding, more margin, a bigger width for the available rights to change (.submenuitem a span.changedRight) and I've made the arrow a bit bigger (102% font size). This way the user will select easier the items. I didn't have time to change the way the submenu is displayed (click instead of mouse over), but it's clear for me the way it will look like and I really think that this proposal is clean and easy to use/understand. Raluca. The only advantage of another color set would be a greater space for user to click/hover (we can fix that with padding). The disadvantage is that the lookfeel will be broken and also other icons will not correlate actions done in XWiki (edit, delete, comment, etc) with the corresponding rights. If the hover/click and the size of the icons are the only problem :) then is ok Thanks, Caty Raluca.

The right part of each icon should be grayed if the right is inherited and not grayed if the right is set locally, this improve the information provided in V3. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights43Proposal#HAfterclick The problem with this icons (taken from Silk) is that there is little difference for View, Comment, Admin icons between the two states (inherited, locally set) - but this is something we can easily improve (by changing the icons and looking for some more contrast). Example: This is how they look when all rights are set locally (full color) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/fullColors.png I also think that the +/- (which is never grayed) could be nearer to the right icon. Maybe you could use a green V and a read stop in place of +/- ? The other mockup versions (like http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights41Space) used v/x for the allow/deny representation, and yes, I agree that they are more suited than +/-. The problem is that we are using in XWiki, X to represent delete, so having two xX was too much, that's why I introduced +/-. Maybe we can find another solution. I think we need some polishing on the icons used. Building them specifically would be nice, but I do not know if you or anyone want to have a try at that. My feeling is that the couple +/- or better v/x and the right icon should be built together and closer to each other providing the information as a whole and not giving the impression of two part. Using a v for suggesting the menu is nice, could be even improved by styling some button like borders on hover. All menus could also be improved by using the inheritance arrow married with +/- (or v/x) to show immediately what will be the right if inheritance is used. Regarding the collapsed view, I see three possibilities to investigate for allowing edition while improving readability

I choose the icons form Silk set, because they are used everywhere in XWiki. The rationale was the consistency and lookfeel. That's why they all are 16x16. If we choose this version as the final one, but we are not pleased with these icons, we need to find another set (maybe as you suggested with 24x24 size) or create it from scratch (then we need to think about the icon representation).

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rights Management UI
Caty, I probably have an issue with my browser (Chrome/Mac) but I cannot see the icons :( Anyway this seem to me nice, but I am not sure you should prevent changing rights in summary mode. I think that summary mode should allow simple right management, and for 'casual' or less knowledgeable users, this should be the only mode used. This is not only a summary, but also a simplified interface. WDYT ?

This means I need to know that and repair again all the rights I ALREADY set at the higher level. This behavior is not logical for me. It is not logical for me and I imagine many others ! A solution would be to take out managerX form Group B and leave it just in Managers group. Yes, this way my problem is solved, but this means Groups are only used for Rights purposes.

This is not only a summary, but also a simplified interface. WDYT ? I had your vision (changing rights in summary mode) in mind when I started prototyping. Let me show you some versions: V1_space) First version took the exact order from the extended view (first Allow, second Deny rights) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/spaceTest1.png + this version lets the user drag its right to the appropriate column +- has the same representation as the extended version --- there is no scanability: if I want to see the status of delete right for different groups/users I have to search for them (making me dizzy :P ) + there is no gapping space between rights V2_space) Tried to fix the dizziness by providing same order/position for rights http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/spaceTest2.png +- this version lets the user drag its right to the appropriate column, but the user has not control over the position he choose to drop the target: the right will appear on the column it's suppose to be +- doesn't have the same representation as the extended version (allowed/denied order broke, determined order present) + scanability: it's easy to scan for the searched column/position -gap space between rights: ex. evalica-DenyDelete: some users might not like that gap and may not understand why is there (is it a bug?) See also: V2_wiki) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/wikiTest2.png V2_wiki_expanded) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/wikiTest21.png As you see in V2) has the same functionality as the expanded version. The main benefit is that is occupying less space, but we still need the expanded view for the Inherited/detailed information for each right. The down side of version 2 http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/wikiTest2.png is that if I want to *summarize *a global state for a given right (ex see for what users 'delete' is allowed/denied) at a global level, not at a group/user level, the same dizziness effect appears (I have to search for 'delete' right in three columns, for all the users) V3) is the current proposal, it compresses the 3 column spread information in one view. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/space42View.png - this version doesn't lets the user drag its right to the appropriate column +- doesn't have the same representation as the extended version + scanability: it's easy to scan for the searched column/position at a * global* level + there is no gapping space between rights V3_wiki) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/wikiTest3.png is equivalent to V2_wiki) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/wikiTest2.png I prefer V3) over V2): + Summary does what is suppose to: give a global summary of existing rights, without being concerned of the type of the right (inherited, locally allowed, locally denied) + Good Readability +/- Doesn't allow rights to be dragged around. I prefer changing rights in expanded mode because there you also have more information, like source of the inheritance + 3 columns. Being compact it's easier to understand the local source of inheritance for a given right. For example, allowing view right for 'evalica' will deny it for 'unregistered users' and 'registered users'. Being on the same column is easier to look for the change and see it in action (being highlighted). http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights4Proposal/space42View.png Please tell me what you think about this rationale. It would be great if you have ideas about how to make the summary being draggable, but also keeping scanability and less gaps.

I want to know how hard this would be to be changed. Changing this is not hard, but it will increase complexity since we will need a backward compatibility mode for existing wikis. Another question is why this has been done in the first place? Can someone give a valid use case when this is more productive than other ways. I really do not know, and I am curious as well. It is very confusing and users need to do additional steps in order to give the rights they want. I completely agree, this is poor. I think is a problem of how the Groups are perceived. Only as a rights mechanism or as a semantically grouping. We should not decide this, since groups maybe synchronized from external system (ie LDAP), imposing groups for rights is not correct. By the way, groups may contains groups, but I am almost sure that this will work properly in practice. If we use groups just to give rights than the current implementation is usable. But if you have groups, like Tech team, Design team, Marketing, Happy team ... etc in order to classify our users in other ways beside rights management, giving permission to a user is breaking all the inheritance from upper levels. Example: Group A(Managers) has View (default allowed) at wiki level - this means that they should be allowed to view all the pages in the wiki. Group B(Tech Team) has View (explicitly denied) at spaceX level - this means they shouldn't be allowed to view this space. But I have a person (the managerX) in Group B that is supposed to see the info in spaceX level. So the first logical move would be to give him allow at space level (having in mind that space rights are stronger that wiki rights and the view right has been overriden).

IMO, XWiki 3.0 should have a complete rework of the right service implementation, and breaks with the past. Since this will cause many migration issue, I am not in favor of progressive changes, and I would prefer to see a big single change that fix this, and also the current discussion on script rights. Denis Rights should be inherited from upper level and should affect only the user/group where a change is made, not make some complicated implications at other levels and groups.

People told me that they didn't understood the Containing Spaces/Pages so I've removed it. This proposal gives the users the possibility to create Roles that can have semantically value to them and thus making the rights more easy to use. This proposal accommodates the case: Not sure it's scalable. In the future applications/components will be able to register new rights. Having the rights displayed vertically and only on Add, makes the UI more scalable, and in the code we could add as many rights as we would want. Also the spaces is now more economical having just Allow/Deny columns. Thanks, Caty Denis Also, a drop-down might be better than an autosuggest when selecting which right should be added to a role.

So the question is for me, are we designing this UI to think about future possibilities or to replace the current UI ? My purpose is to make rights easy to use at last. IMO this means do whatever it takes to make them easy to use :) I try to base my proposal on existing code, but I never disregard new functionalities that I can add if this means the UI and experience is gonna be improved. The only thing Rights version 3 is adding is the Role part, which is some kind of groups for rights. If the solution given is gonna be convincing enough to be use in the rights part (not yet but maybe some version of it) I'm sure there will be someone that is gonna want to implement it. Until then I will continue to prototype and find out how we can add all that functionality in one place. And yes... I need to focus more on the inheritance again. Thanks, Caty Denis
