You didn’t mention the version of XWiki you’re using. The error you get is most probably caused by one of the following:

  • you recently deleted an user that was the last author of some script pages
  • you recently removed the script right from some user that was the last author of some script pages
  • one of you users that doesn’t have script right has recently modified some script pages

Hope this helps,
Marius

Hello Marius,

Thanks you, but how to check/verified/correct what you say ?

The version we use is XWiki Debian 10.6.1

I have restored from backup a very old version (more 30 days) and the problem is the same. Is possible the problem was here since a long time and a reboot have wake up the problem ?
I can’t access to any page for check user permission or other… all pages are blocked :cold_face:

I’m a Linux sysadmin and I’m totally distraught by this problem because it’s really seem it’s an internal problem of xwiki. For me, it’s really dramatic because we have store a lot of internal procedure. I canno’t imagine lost all this procedure :confounded:
