Description

Levels in tiki-assignpermission.php are confusing to the new tiki admins.

Solution

<span style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66;">Easy</span> solution:

[+]

Update doc.tikiwiki.org/permissions and related pages to explain fuctionality.

Medium solution:

[+]

They should be moved below in a section "advanced" (ideally hidden by a javascript). So new tiki admins can start right away to assign perms. Later on, when they become proficient, they can start using levels.

I don't think, that's a good solution... - it would make the page extremely long..

But some nice solution would be nice...

Harder solution

[+]

redesign a simpler two panel template for "assign permission to group:"

Upper panel:assign all permissions from . . .
enabling that admin creating a new group can assign all perms from other group pretty much of replaces levels entirely, right? what are levels but generic groups? Smart admins can then cluster perms any way they like.

Lower panel:add/remove permissions.
This panel could use java show/hide (or be really long) listing each and every permission that exists, grouped by feature. beside each perm is a simple check box.

Note: has anyone created a todo to create a "junior admin" permission that enables the user to give any, all and only the permissions they have to other users? (for full flexability they would also have to be able to create groups)

About show2.tiki.org

To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.

Version: Create show2.tiki.org instance

Accessing the Tiki instance that demonstrates this bug

The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".

For the install log, see http:///info.txt

Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.

Snapshots

Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.

Snapshots can be accessed at: http:///snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
