I think it’s a more global issue. For example any global user with PR can always impact the whole farm even when he’s on a subwiki, since that user can register components in the Root Component Manager for example. The way we protected against this is by requiring PR on the main wiki. Now I’m ok to do what you suggest, but just know it’s not the only way to impact the whole farm from a subwiki. Makes it a bit less easy though ;) Thanks -Vincent > -- > Denis Gervalle _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
