After the migration when we initialized Xwiki it gave us the option to install Extensions and Flavors, we went through that process of installing them and it was completed successfully. Now we’re not able to see in the Installed extensions.
Can you help us with any other options to edit the group rights? Thanks
Below are some Screen shots
Our old Application 4.1.4: We’re able to see group and edit rights
New Application 15.5
OK, so according to your screenshot, your list of installed extensions was already broken before the upgrade ?
Do you have any error or warning in the log of the upgraded instance, especially at startup ?
Could you try to access https://yourdomain/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Extensions#History and check if there is any difference between the standard version coming from the extension and the current state of the page ? If you try to rollback to the standard version and see if it works better.
I don’t think old application was broken, because there was no issue with Group’s and Right’s.
These are the screenshots for Extension History :
Old Application 4.1.4 :
New Application : 15.5
These are the server start up logs for the upgraded instance. I don’t see any issues

What I said is that your installed extensions list is broken (it’s not supposed to be empty since, as I said in a previous message, you installed a bunch of them: the flavor and its dependencies).
This screenshot suggests you don’t have any installed extension.
This is often the sign that your permanent directory is not configured or configured with a very unstable location (i.e. your installed extension index, which is located in the permanent directory, has been wiped it seems).
This really does not look like a stable permanent directory, looks to me like the Tomcat temporary directory allocated to the xwiki webapp.
See https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Configuration/#HPermanentDirectory
I’ll give a new absolute location to the environment.permanentDirectory and then try to Install the extensions and Flavors and will keep you posted.
Might be this issue is happening because I’m accessing the application from my local and the server. I’ll try to use that location only from server.
I’ve update the permanent directory location and initialized the Xwiki application.

Please suggest how to get the Flavors and setup. Thanks
Have you tried to refresh (as in F5) ? AFAIK in rare cases the automatic refresh of the list does not work.
If refresh does not work, you might want to take a look at the log for possible related errors (like errors when trying to access the extensions repository).
