Hi Danny, What about having a big "disable security" button in the user manager which would grey out everything (after a confirm dialog) but leave a "enable security" button?
Then we could add a command line option that would disable security at start up. Technically "disabling security" would just add AllPermission to the default role. I think this approach would be better because: - it's easier to change the settings, even at runtime - There isn't the possibility to manage users if this has no effect anyway (as this would be greyed out and disabled) - The same infrastructure and filters could be running with and without security (as without security just means "everybody is root" - which sounds frightening but that's intentional) Cheers, Reto On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 3:09 PM, Danny Ayers <danny.ay...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, personally I'd lean towards leaving security on by default, being > general good practice.
