Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Proposal: Removal of unnecessary custom permissions

Posted by Jeff Davis on
The root of my problem with removing many of the _admin permissions is that as it stands granting admin on acs-subsite allows a user to do an awful lot of things that you would not want them to be able to do if all you really want is to allow them to administer content on the subsite. Maybe the best answer is to split admin into admin and admin_content where admin_content would not allow the owner to mount packages, delete groups, etc.

Anyway, I think there needs to be an intermediate permission between full admin rights (which lets you do all kinds of things that could break the site) and admin which allows you to administer content in the context of an existing site and can be given to users who don't know quite so much about OpenACS.
