To be more precise the xclass is XWiki.RequiredRightClass and currently it has 2 levels defined: “edit” and “programming”. But we could easily add “admin” too. I’ve just created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13601 to not forget this. We can decide if we want it or not. Thanks -Vincent > @Devs: WDYT?
