They all mean roughyl the same thing and starting with 5.2 we’re merging all concepts together. We’re removing the terminology “workspace” in favor of “wiki” (or “subwiki”). > What I would like to do is be able to run one instance of XWiki and be able > to create separate Wikis (in different schemas).

Nope ;) A workspace is a subwiki with no local users (only global users). > Example: > - IT Wiki > -- Bob's Workspace > -- Alice's Workspace > > - Finance Wiki > -- Joe's Workspace > -- Jane's Workspace > > > I want to be able to keep the users separated between the IT Wiki and > Finance Wiki but allow shared users for the Workspaces under each of those > Wikis. > > I think installing the Wiki Manager Application and Workspace Application > should do the trick. However, it sounds like Wiki Manager is the old way > of doing it and it's being deprecated. These are installed by default starting with 5.2. There’s no notion of nested wikis though so what you wish to do is not possible. What you can do is have a flat structure with 4 wikis: - Bob IT wiki - Alice IT wiki - Joe Finance wiki - Jane Finance wiki or have 2 wikis with spaces: - IT wiki — Bob's **space** — Alice's **space** - Finance wiki — Joe's **space** — Jane's **space” You should really use XWiki 5.2 (and 5.3 when it’s out since we’re currently working on this topic to improve it), it makes all this simpler. Now yes you’re right in that you can install Wiki Manager Application. Workspace Application won’t help you since it create subwikis that use global users only.
