Re: UserPermissions

exactly this is what I was asking or looking at
- Assign page privileges in a centralized way, and not on each page
- Assign privileges to individual users rather than groups

I did not know that we can grant privileges to individual users llike

grant signedBy "jspwiki",
   principal com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.WikiPrincipal "John Doe" {
     permission com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.permissions.PagePermission  
"Main", "edit";
};

i was just thinking that they are handling groups. anyways i got you..Thanks
Andrew and all

Swarup
