As a consequence, by default you share your settings (including the display of the panels) with the other users which have the same rights as you. To personalize the content of a panel you could: 1. Create a panel which can be viewed/edited only by you. 2. Add a check in the panel you want to customize to display some content when you are the logged in user. > - can a page be added/edited only through a form like page (some users with > programming rights design the form through class/object/wiki/wysiwyg/inline > modes so others can fill the contents easily without being able to modify > the form definition) > This sounds like a XWiki Application.

Although, if you want to add for example, a horizontal menu in the header or footer, you should override instead one of the velocity templates from the skin.
