Steps
To set the Extension Rights when viewing a Page, for a specific Page:
- View the Page.
- Administer the Page.
- Select "Users & Rights", and then select XWiki 18.2.0-rc-1+ "Extension Rights:Page & Children" or "Extension Rights:Page" from the dropdown, depending on your needs.

- 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.
FAQ
What is the difference between "Extension Rights:Page & Children" and "Extension Rights:Page" ?
The rights defined for "Extension Rights:Page & Children" will apply to current Page and to all its children, while "Extension Rights:Page" sets rights only for the current Page. XWiki <18.2.0-rc-1 There was only one entry "Extension Rights", where the rights were applied to the current Page and children, with no option to apply them to the Page only.
Can I set the Extension Rights globally for the whole wiki?
Yes, you can change the extension rights globally.
Why am I seeing only "Extension Rights" in the "Users & Rights" menu?
XWiki <18.2.0-rc-1 The "Users & Rights" menu offered a single "Extension Rights" entry, so the choice between applying the rights to the Page only or to the Page and its children is not available in your version.
