[xwiki-users] Inheritable access rights

2014-02-25 Thread Patrick Masson
I was wondering if there was a way for a child page created via a link 
form a parent page to inherit the parent's access rights?


For example, in the breadcrumbs on a page, I might have...
Wiki Home » Board of Directors » Board Meeting Notes » March 5th, 2014 
Notes


The access rights on Board Meeting Notes page is set so that only a 
specific group, Directors can view the page. However, I must 
manually set the access rights on  March 5th, 2014 Notes to view when 
I create/edit the page.  I would like all of the pages linked off of 
this page to inherit the same permissions so I do not need to manually 
(or forget) to set permissions everytime a new notes page under Board 
Meeting Notes is created.


I'll admit to being bias to Confluence's approach--which does not mean 
it is right--it's just what I am used to. XWiki may offer a better way 
to manage permissions and I am just ignorant of it.


Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks Sergiu,

The second option you provide might actually be the best.

Thanks again,
Patrick

That's not easily possible, it requires implementing one of two issues:

http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1091

XWiki has space rights, so currently you can move all the meeting notes
in a different space.

Or, move the whole Board of Directors in a space, by default deny access
to all documents in that space, and explicitly make a few pages public
if most of the documents will need to be private.
