We already have a parameter to specify a list of users. I think I'd prefer to introduce a regex syntax instead.

For example:

  • users="user1,user2" to list only for user1 and user2
  • users="%regex[...] to list only users matching the passed regex

This allow much more fine tuning IMO.

See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/advanced-descriptor-topics.html (section "Using Regular Expressions to Exclude Files").

It's impossible to use regular expressions since the filter is passed on to Hibernate, and then to the relational database behind it, which don't support regular expressions in value comparisons. But for exclusion we could add support for "-" as a negative prefix for usernames.

users="-xwiki:XWiki.superadmin" means every user except superadmin.
