Delete own comment when only having view and comment rights?

Hello,

our Users have the Issue, that they can write and edit their comments on pages that they only have view and comment rights. But they are not able to delete these comments.
The Documentation Permission types (XWiki.org)
states, that in order to delete an own comment users need to have edit rights - which is quite unusual compared to other Software Products that have comment functions. But also this documentation states that users need edit rights on the page in order to Edit their comments, which is not true in current Versions of XWIKI.

Is it configurable to allow users to comment, edit and delete on pages they have only view and comment rights? If no: why?

Can somebody help with this issue?

Hello @TomTheWise

It is currently not configurable and only users with edit rights are currently allowed to remove their own comments.
You can create an issue on jira.xwiki.org to improve your chances to see this limitation being fixed in the future.

Thank you for the clarification. I posted an Bug report. (Not completely sure if this even counts as bug?)
