I was thinking about the wiki's read-only mode, which bypasses access rights, and which can be used to hide the copy action. If you're referring to users and groups that don't have edit right at wiki level then, as I said in my first part of the reply, we can't do much about it because rights at page level overwrite those a wiki level so even if you deny edit right for a user at wiki level he may still have edit right on some page deep inside the page hierarchy, thus he needs to be able to copy a page there. > > > On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 9:42 PM, Stev Williams <flood_d...@hotmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> >> I have recently upgraded our xwiki from 7.4.4 to 8.4.4 and all seemed to >> go well, however one thing has come up in that if a user or a group has >> read only access to the Wiki on 8.4.4 the cog is appearing with just the >> option to Copy.
