I also forgot. Some devs need access to multiple project environments (subversion and trac) and some need to be restricted/redirected to the project they know about. We don't want some sources to even know about the others. I have no issue added each individual 1 by to to each project that is appropriate, but I would like to grant access to the "project list" or top-level to individuals with multi-project access so they may navigate from a top level if they so choose. "ideally" it would only show the projects they actually have access to, but practically will not be needed for my purposes. They will either be able to see only 1 project, or them all. While they may not have rights to do anything in them all (read only, for example), that is easily managed at the per project level. See now, I just made it more complicated, and just out of my grasp for implementing without a little hand holding.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
