I'd like to make some observations of and suggestions for improving the ui admin of users.
The User List screen is very clear; the notes with each capability as a letter
spelled out is very neat and usable. However, when you click on a specific
user, e.g. anonymous, the capabilities selection screen doesn't show the
letters anywhere and the list is in a different order from the letters. Also,
some capabilities are renamed, e.g. on the user list, 'h' is for 'hyperlinks'
whereas on the capabilities selection screen, I'm pretty sure 'h' is for
'History'.
Also, the default capabilities seem to imply that 'developer' inherits the
capabilities of 'reader' (because the Password capability is not given to
developer by default). This could be explained in the special logins section
of the capabilities selection screen.
All of this makes user administration a little cumbersome. I suggest that as a
minimum, the capabilities selection screen should have the letters next to the
checkboxes in that correspond to the letters defined on the user list screen.
One last thing - just a question. Capability 'b' or Attach controls adding
attachments to wiki or tickets. Does this depend on the capabilities 'm'
(append-wiki) or 'c' (append-tkt) or 'f' (new-wiki) or 'n' (new-tkt)? I'd like
to allow anonymous users to add attachments to tickets, but not wikis. Is that
even possible?
