Editing content does not alter the author information, unless you change

Ah, more bureaucracy, eh? Just kidding. :P
Upon quick inspection, permission settings seemed to have changed from
what they originally used to be; I don't know if this was by accident
(during the D5 upgrade?) or by design, but anyway here are the user
roles and permissions as originally thought out.
Anonymous user:
- Access content only
Authenticated user = Anonymous user plus:
- Create conference, doc for user, doc for devs, news post and RFCs
(all submissions moderated)
- Edit own content (of above-mentioned types)
- Post comments
Blogger = Authenticated user plus:
- Create blog posts
- Edit own blog posts
Editor = Authenticated user plus:
- Edit all content types
Dev = Blogger plus:
- Create & edit all content types
Admin = Dev plus:
- All system notifications (mainly to keep an eye on spam accounts)
Superadmin (user 1):
- Full permissions
So, would adding a Moderator role as an almighty editor to the above
meet your needs?
BTW, I also noticed that there is a new (at least to me) "Event Admin"
role apparently created for the only purpose of allows submitting
latitude/longitude info; if that's the only purpose of this role (which
is what it looks like), then it is totally unnecessary, as submitting
latitude/longitude is not necessary (the system figures it out from the
address).
Cheers,
Jorge
