Hey all, I think what Carlos is saying is that a simple addition of a group or user to a page's access rights totally overrides the space's access rights. This is only a problem I assume when there is a large number of groups and users who have access rights to the space, requiring users to reselect all of those groups and users again on the page access rights when the goal was just to add a viewing right, for example, for a user jsmith.
I think a checkbox "Inherit space rights" will allow the user to automatically inherit the space rights AS WELL AS add his own rights to that page, eliminating the overhead necessary for users to reselect all of the rights for a page. Is there a feature request list that Carlos could maybe add this to?

In order for a user or group to view a page they must be allowed the permission either in the page, space, or wiki. Permissions for the page take precedent over permissions for the space and space permissions take precedent over wiki wide permissions so allowence for the space is overridden by denial for the page. Is that what you were asking about? If I was off base maybe you can give your specific problem. Caleb Carlos Correa wrote: > Hello, > > I'm a CS major in my 2nd year of school.
