Nice to see that someone is really using the permission system. I think there is a minor flaw in the design of jobs. They always get their permissions as if they are standalone items which means that only the user that created a job can view it (unless more permissions are granted to the roles as Bob has done). Jobs that are part of an experiment should really get their permissions from the experiment just as bioassay sets and transformations do. I don't know if it is possible to implement this with a reasonable amount of effort, but I'll check it out. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
