Hello everyone,
I posted the following question around a week ago, but it still
hasn't been answered, so I thought I'd give it another try.
Basically, I have been having problems with the automatic updating
feature on the access rights page. The Ajax automatic updating
mechanism inadvertently locks me out of the access rights page when I
try to change the rights by cycling through them. The cycle of rights
is Blank (Default) - Allow - Deny - back to Default, etc.
Because of the automatic access control updating feature, when I
cycle through Deny in order to get to Default, I am automatically
denied viewing rights, and thus locked out of my own page. This
problem becomes burdensome as countless users will regularly have to
contact Admins to get them to unlock the pages.
Yes, this is known, and will be fixed soon (hopefully in 2.3).
Apparently the instant save was not such a good idea after all.
Are there any good ways of getting around this problem? Are there
ways of implementing dropdown menus instead of square checkboxes, or
having a longer delay when you cycle through access control options?
A quick solution would be to make shift+click cycle the other way.
A faster solution that doesn't require any changes would be to edit
rights using the object editor instead of the rich interface. Rights are
normal XWiki objects like any others.
