How to see all the permissions sets on the Xwiki?

Hello,

I’m using XWiki for the intranet of my company and I would like to have a document with all the permissions/rights given on each page/ section. Currently we are using an Excel sheet but it’s difficult to maintain, do you have any other solution ?

thank you in advance for your help.

I had the same problem as you and finally found this extension: https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Admin%20Tools%20Application

When you run it, there’s a section called Show Rights which gives a complete overview of all permissions which have been set in your wiki. It’s not perfect, but it is much better than the default permission viewer IMO and I wish I’d found it sooner. Hope this helps!

We did a script for this.

This script lists all existing ‘XWiki.XWikiRights’ and ‘XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights’. Each of these objects has an account/group, the type of right and whether it is permitted or prohibited. In addition, the last modification date is displayed.

This page lists all existing '[[XWiki.XWikiRights>>XWiki.XWikiRights]]' and '[[XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights>>XWiki.XWikiGlobalRights]]'. Each of these objects has an account/group, the type of right and whether it is permitted or prohibited. In addition, the last modification date is displayed.

@Simpel we appreciate this contribution and would be great if you could update the page with a License type from the existing list. I’m pretty sure the license you chose is not something official :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Alex

This license is indeed from the actual list and was confirmed as a GPL-compatible free software license by the Free Software Foundation as to read here: WTFPL - Wikipedia.
