It depends on the context, in my opinion. On intranet, I am a strong opponent to "2 users do not see the same thing at the same URL". It makes helping people by mail/phone quite difficult/impossible, and it makes people not aware of all the possibilities of systems. And security is not an issue: everything is loggued, if an employee tries something bad his job is immediately at stake. Things you cannot do should be greyed out, not hidden (or better: should prompt for login). We bought JIRA (of the same company that mades confluence) and this "feature" (2 users see 2 different things) is a major pain. On internet, I also have the same belief, but security / performance issues may be much much stronger. So your proposal may be useful, but I would like it to be optional. PS: we removed the wiki buttons on the "portal pages", and left only a single "full view" button at the bottom to re-enable the full skin, but we did it for this url: geeks and non-geeks see the same thing at the same URL. (we enabled allowing setting wiki variables per topic, which we use a lot. in this case we put a SKIN=portal_skin on the portal page). So whatever solution you choose, I would advise that you respect the "same url, same contents" principle. -- Colas Nahaboo, Webcore, ILOG Sophia Antipolis, http://colas.nahaboo.net |
