Gadgets on the iGoogle panel also have an Edit Settings action on the top
right
corner of every gadget, which opens a form with settings for that gadget.
Question:
If one user changes these settings, should they be visible to everyone, or
just to the
user editing them? (this way different users will see the gadgets with
different settings
for the same dashboard)
On the personal dashboard is obvious that only you get to change them, and
maybe view
the dashboard,
but what about any dashboard added as a macro on a regular page?
I think the changes should be visible to everyone with view rights on the
page, and
the settings editable for everyone with edit rights on the same page.
WDYT?
