Comment (by ttcoder):
If the haiku team have reason to think there is a possible threat of
vandalism (somebody defacing properties on a large scale, creating a
nightmare to revert the changes by hand or even requiring a database
restore or something), then that justifies tightening the screws security
wise, guess that's something we non-admins will have to live with.
After all there are plan Bs for each use-cases for people who are not
eligible for extra editing privileges, or don't bother to ask for it:
- use case: somebody's getting crazy receiving Cc'ed emails and not being
able to remove himself from the Cc list: one can always get in touch with
the admins (preferably off ticket!), asking one of the 8 admins to unsub
him.
- use case: somebody needs to change a bunch of properties in a ticket,
and asks an admin to do so: it's possible to copy-paste the widget labels,
then the new value.. based on a temporarily create "new ticket" (since you
have no way to materialize the various combo boxes listing, list of
components ..etc since now "new ticket" is the only interface where they
are visible)..
- in the more extreme case, one can create a new ticket, with the updated
properties, copy-paste the description from the old one, and ask/wait for
an admin to close the old ticket as a duplicate of the newer/updated one..
It's gonna fragment the ticket history though.
We can try it for a while and see it that works out for everyone.. If that
works for other projects it can work for us too.. I suppose..
Anyway globally a +0 from me but maybe I should shut up if I'm one of
those who spammed the db and contributed to the tighenintg of the screws
