Change Extension Rights at Page Level
Last modified by Eleni Cojocariu on 2026/08/31 14:08
Steps
Grant or deny an extension right on a single page, or on a page and everything below it, which overrides the setting made for the wiki the way Rights Resolution describes for the standard rights.
- Administer the Page.
- Select "Users & Rights", and then "Extension Rights: Page & Children" to cover the page and its children, or "Extension Rights: Page" to cover this page alone.
- Select the "Groups" or the "Users" tab, depending on whom the right is for, then click the check box where the group or user meets the extension right: once to allow it, twice to deny it, and a third time to clear it and fall back to the default value.
- Check that the extension right shows as allowed or denied on the page.
FAQ
What is the difference between "Extension Rights: Page & Children" and "Extension Rights: Page"?
"Extension Rights: Page & Children" applies to the page and to all its children, while "Extension Rights: Page" applies to that page alone.
Can I set the Extension Rights for the whole wiki?
Yes, see Change the Extension Rights Globally.
Why am I seeing only "Extension Rights" in the "Users & Rights" menu?
XWiki <18.2.0 A single "Extension Rights" entry was offered, so the choice between applying the rights to the page only or to the page and its children is not available in your version.
