Rights are indeed set per page or space. Thus, you could give group A the right to edit pages (including users) in the space XWiki, as all users are in the space XWiki. What I normally do is group all pages in a space for easy access management, but from what I understood it's not advisable to move users to a space other than XWiki. Perhaps you could script something so when a user is added to group A, predefined rights (periodically or directly) are set for these users/pages. But I don't even know if there's an API call for setting access rights.. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
