I agree. I would do something like this:
if (new security setting would cause changes) {
ask if the user would like to view and confirm changes
if (user says yes) {
list the changes that will be done, with a checkbox in
front of each one, with verbose descriptions available.
}
else {
do the changes without confirmation
}
}
else {
leave everything alone
}
You know, my coding style looks pretty ugly. I should probably change it
one of these days.
