  • Remarks
  • Use Case 1: Group "Unregistered Users"
    • Wiki Level
      • Adding a group adds all rights in their default status
      • All rights can be dragged to the desired status - Hover on "Edit"
      • "Edit" right has been dragged to the "Deny" column, being in this way overridden
      • Drag the rights in the position you want - dragging them to the "Default / Inherited Rights" resets the overriding
    • Space Level
      • Only available rights (without "register", "programming") are shown with their "inherited"(yellow) /"default"(normal) state
      • We can see from where we have the inheritance (yellow down arrow)
  • Use Case 2: User "evalica"
    • Wiki Level
      • "Register Users" rights for Wiki level
    • Space Level
      • "Register Users" rights for Space level (without "register", "programming")
      • Adding "evalica" user, "Register Users" rights are inherited
      • Drag the rights in the wanted position
      • We can see from where the user has the inheritance (yellow down arrow)

Remarks

• Rights have 4 states: Default, Inherited, Allowed, Denied
• The columns "Allow Rights" and "Deny Rights" are preserved
  • rights in these columns are overridden as "Allow" or overridden as "Deny"
• One additional column is added: "Default / Inherited Rights", by default all rights appear in this column
  • rights in this column are inherited from parent or are the default XWiki rights
• By using drag'n'drop items are tossed around between "Allow rights", "Deny rights" and "Default / Inherited Rights"

• Advantages:
  • It helps to see entire and only set of rights user is able to manipulate upfront
  • It helps to understand inherited rights
  • It gives user a feeling of manipulating physical objects
