The REST api only provide resources for manipulating pages an objects. There are no resources for higher-level abstractions (excepts tags and comments) So as long as what you want to do is achievable by page and object manipulation (like the most of the XWiki functionalities) you are able to use the REST api to do it. Marius suggested the way to change the rights for a page and in a previous thread it was told how to create a new user. It's clear that having explicit resources for common use cases would simplify things. -Fabio _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
