With a Groovy listener. See this tutorial for a starting point: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/GroovyNotificationTutorial Or you can go low level and write a Java component that does the same thing, this should be a bit more bulletproof (you have to register the groovy listener when the wiki restarts). An alternative is not to update rights when changing the document, but to plug in a different XWikiRightsService implementation that checks the authors instead of the rights objects when determining if the current user has edit right on a document. For other rights, or if there are no authors, fall back to the default XWikiRightServiceImpl base class. > Btw, I'm using this snippet to add the user rights: > http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Setting+Rights > > Thanks in advance, > > Luís Braga -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
