Problem granting delete rights to a group

Hi,

I have created a group called "Trusted" and added the following to my 
jspwiki.policy file:

grant signedBy "jspwiki",
  principal com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.authorize.Group "Trusted" {
    permission com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.permissions.PagePermission "*:*", 
"modify,rename,delete";
};

However, the users within the trusted group are still unable to delete 
pages.  I have restarted Tomcat, and that doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Can anyone see an error in the grant declaration or is there some other 
step that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance,
Lana

Thanks Andrew,

We're still on 2.4 - I haven't had time to do the update yet. Is this 
functionality available in the 2.4 release?

(It does appear that the GroupManager is working properly - the 
"Trusted" group is displayed on the profile page for the users in the 
group.)

Many thanks in advance,
Lana

Lana -- I don't know what version of JSPWiki you are using from your
e-mail. But the grant block looks ok. If you are using 2.8, you can
omit the "signedBy" part of the grant block. That could be part of the
problem.

Have you verified that the GroupManager is working properly? If you
log in as a user that belongs to the group Trusted, it should be
listed in the user's profile page as a group they belong to.
