Steps

To set the Extension Rights when viewing a Page, for a specific Page:

  1. View the Page.
  2. Administer the Page.
  3. 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.

    The Extension Rights:Page & Children and Extension Rights:Page entry from the Users & Rights menu

  4. 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.
