I haven't thought this through, but I would've preferred to be able to switch OFF all rights, and then switch on the rights to the users/groups I want to edit. Switching on some rights automatically has the effect of switching off the default rights, which means if a right is not explicitly granted, it is considered forbidden. Not very intuitive, I know. That doesn't seem to be the case, as I said, I turned off some of the rights (View), and yet another right (Edit) for the same bunch of users was still allowed. Switching off some of the rights did *not* have the effect of switching off the default rights. Or do I have to switch on some rights in order to get the behaviour you are talking about? Rights are not connected to each other, that means that no view rights doesn't imply no other rights, even if logically edit is stronger than view. Also allow edit, admin, comment for the users that should have these rights.

Re: [xwiki-users] Confusion over XWord versions

See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5554 . Starting with XE 2.5 image and link markers (the XHTML comments used by the rendering module) use the same syntax. Let me know if you need any help. Indeed, this could be the cause of the issue. I would have expected this behavior to be backwords compatible or having the old one deprecated for several XWiki versions as we receive this 'formated' XHTML trough public APIs. At this point the conversion will simply crash when used by an older client. IMO we should check the version of XE when XWord connects to it and if it's not compatible mention it. WDYT? XOffice already checks the XE version for several reasons. For this particular issue, I'd prefer to implement the fix it rather then saying it's incompatible. First thing to do until a release is done, is to at least document this on the wiki. The client relies on the XML-RPC and REST APIs which means that it should be compatible with the server as long as nothing changes in the API specs. I cannot confirm the exact cause of the issue yet. But based on the hint from Marius I could say that the xhtml parser should have accepted the old image marker for several versions. XML-RPC is a backwards compatible API, once we introduced the conversion methods, it means we commit to having them working properly across several XWiki versions. On the server side, in the rendering module, we have *voluntarily* broken several APIs. See the release notes for 2.5: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise25#HAPIBreakages I don't know how this can affect you (i.e how this can affect the XMLRPC module). But if you produce XHTML on the XOffice side and if this XHTML contains markers then the marker syntax has changed in 2.5. Thanks -Vincent I'd like to get XWord working, even if it means hacking it myself.
