I don't think this is possible out of the box. It also goes against the wiki principle of openness. Of course nothing prevents your from modifying the historyinline.vm file to add a check on rights. Or create your custom skin that overwrite the historyinline.vm file (easier for upgrades). Thanks -Vincent ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Is the solution I gave good enough for you for now? I don't see any easy and generic way of adding this to the core. Creating a new History Right would be too complicated for this right now. I think we need to overhaul our rights system so that it can scale and then we should probably add more rights (same as what JIRA is doing for issues for example - It has 20 or so rights).

I think we need to overhaul our rights system so that it can scale and then we should probably add more rights (same as what JIRA is doing for issues Will there be an option to make custom rights? My full vision is that rights will be components in the new architecture. An application (XAR) will be a set of pages but also jars with components, external jars, skin extensions, interface extensions. As such an application will be able to bring it Rights. Actually exactly in the way jira is doing this right now. Thus the Rights UI should be generic enough to accept any number of rights. This is not the case right now and this is why I say we should make it scalable. Thanks -Vincent for example - It has 20 or so rights). Or course it makes xwiki more complex to use too.

Or create your custom skin that overwrite the historyinline.vm file (easier for upgrades). That only hides the links, but in order to really prevent access to history, you must also change the code for com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiRightServiceImpl (or provide your own RightService implementation) to prevent accessing the /viewrev/ action. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
