Hi Sergiu,

Just to give more clarification about  my original post  I want to
configure it in a way user should be  able to  search *and view*  the other
users who belongs to same group otherwise it should not be able to search *and
view* other group user details

Then you should take care of how you grant view rights to the group page. I guess it should be enough to make only one change: on the group page, grant view right (and you should also grant edit right) to the group itself, without specifying any other grant/deny rights.

Thanks Sergiu.As you told * Another option is to post-filter the results
returned by Lucene so that you remove all the user profiles that shouldn't
be returned. *  I am also looking this kind of option but not getting in
which java class i need to make change for this.If you can throw some light
on this, it would be a great help.

I have configured to use Lucene search in my xwiki application. Right now
  in xwiki ,  any  user is able to search any other user details  by
entering his deatils in serach text box.I want to configure it in a way

otherwise it should not other group user details. Is it configurable in
xwiki or i need to make some changes in code for the same.Thanks.


Search results should only display what is normally visible by the
current user. So, even though you might succeed in making Lucene not return
these users in a query, the user profiles are still visible to the user.

Another point, all users should normally be in at least one common group,
XWiki.XWikiAllGroup, unless you explicitly disable this feature.

Still, to answer your question, it should be possible to configure the
search results so that it displays only users having a group in common, but
it's not very easy. One problem is that groups are defined in a group
document, while Lucene only considers one document at a time, so whenever
it's considering whether or not to include a user document in the results,
it doesn't have access to the group definition, so you'll have to somehow
use this information some other way. One option is to change the indexing
process so that each Lucene document corresponding to a user should also
list all the groups that user belongs to. Another option is to post-filter
the results returned by Lucene so that you remove all the user profiles
that shouldn't be returned.
