How to restrict non-admin users from accessing global menus (Users, Documents, Applications) while allowing content creation in specific spaces?

There have to be some basic view rights to have a “working” wiki. We set those rights to a group called MinimalReadGroup and all users are member of this group.

In admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=panels.navigation we have some root spaces hidden like:

  • XWiki
  • Menu
  • Sandbox
  • Main
  • Macros
  • JobMacro
  • RTFrontend

But it’s just styling. Every user knowing the path can put it in the browsers adress bar. We see no problem seeing the hole document tree (except some very special spaces we exclusivly allow to view to a dedicated group.) The user directory isn’t our problem either as we have a kind of “phonebook” in the intranet anyways.
