Hi,

Scenario: Create space XYZSpace Create user Xwiki.XYZAdministrator Give user Xwiki.XYZAdminister administrative rights in XYZSpace Administration link shows on XYZ.WebHome But, when Xwiki.XYZAdministrator clicks the link he's not allowed to view the Xwiki.XwikiPreferences page

I think this is a UI problem, meaning that Administration link in the upper right corner always goes to global administration and not to space administration. Try http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/admin/XYZSpace/WebPreferences?editor=spacerig... for example (simply change /XWiki/XWikiPreferences in /XYZSpace/WebPreferences), are you able to edit rights ?

So.. Xwiki.XYZAdministrator can't grant view or edit rights to XYZSpace to other users

So then... we give Xwiki.XYZAdministrator administrative rights to the Xwiki space Now he is allowed to veiw the Xwiki.XwikiPreferences page But, he can now grant global rights to any users Which seems odd to us

The question is: How can a user that has administrative rights in a space, but has no rights in the xwiki space, be able to grant view or edit rights to other users in the space he can administer.

If a space administrator can't administer users rights to the space he can administer what is the point of granting administrative rights at the space level?

Please help.

It's a wrong URL generated by the skin. 1.5M2 solves this. You should open /xwiki/bin/admin/XYZSpace/WebPreferences
