Buttons/UI missing for non admin users

Hi

I installed xwiki and am trying to configure it. I am running xwiki debian 11.10.2 on ubuntu 18.04.3LTS with MySQL. I am getting a weird issue with the UI when users without admin rights log into the wiki.

I have set up my wiki with 2 subwikis, staging and regular and the main wiki for admin.

Here you can see the purple staging wiki with all the correct UI and features and them missing from the blue wiki:
wiki

There is no drop downs for navigating and most of the buttons in the top bar is missing. This only happens if the logged user isn’t admin.

The bottom wiki is the main wiki for admin and has the same problems.

Admin Users will see everything on all wiki. This makes me think its a rights issue but I have no idea how to debug this. Also everything should have the same rights but it seems like it doesn’t and I have no idea how to configure it.

I don’t know if there is some misconfiguration or something else. Also it seems like by default, users can’t edit on the blue wiki but can on the purple one where both should have the same rights delegated from the main wiki.

There are no errors in the browser console or catalina.out to debug this.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi!
I think you have to read carefully Access Rights page and also Permisson types page.

Hope this help you.

It looks like you restricted view right to the icon theme pages (e.g. IconThemes.FontAwesome) so the icons can’t be shown to some users.

Thank you, I didn’t change those permissions and when I went to the page it wasn’t checked but it worked after I set all groups to have view rights to IconThemes.
