Maybe we are not talking about the same thing. None of the scripts work, that
includes the panel scripts, like My Recent Modifications, Backlinks and
Recently Modified. Are you saying that the last Author of the that page is
Author of the panel scripts as well, though those are shown on every page??? We
don't write or create any velocity scripts - we are only using the ones that
came with XWiki or installed via Extensions.
Also, the extension managements pages are broken (I sent that in the first
email that did not go through). Under Extension Manager, Add Extensions is
listed, but is broken (I think, I'm back on 7.1.2 right now), but the other
links all are like this:
$services.localization.render
('admin.xwiki.installedextensions')
Those definitely do no work.

So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as in the
screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating the problem in a
new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a velocity macro (event with
some static text content, it does not matter) and then saving the page to see
if it is executed properly and that you get no error?
How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the author of

The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content author of the
document in which the script is located. If you have problems with the scripts
inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look at its "Last modified by" label,
under the page title. That will tell you the user that last modified the page.
The gotcha here is that the script right (just like the programming right)
actually checks the last content author of that page, so the last user that
changed the page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example,
for that saved the page without changes, etc.).
To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can install with
the Extension Manager and check the content author and the status of
Programming and Script rights on a particular page.
You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that contain
scripts and that fail to work on your setup.
Hope this helps,
Eduard
