Hello, I have a slightly unrelated question, but I think the Snowdrift team has experience which can help with answering the question. Lone developers are less likely to know, and there's a good team here :)
Suppose there's a web app, say Snowdrift itself or the GitLab instance, where registered users are assigned roles. Each role has a set of operations, which determine what you can and can't do in the system. For example, "bug reporter" can open bugs but can't close them, "developer" can open and close bug and also push code commits and merge merge-requests. Suppose there's a single user, or perhaps 2 or 3, who are the admins of the project, and they decide who gets which role. They can add and remove people and change roles and operations. Here are 2 possible scenarions: 1. As a project member, you don't know which role you are assigned, and which operations are enabled for it. The project admins tell you, but there's no web page where you can see that info. It means the admins have some privacy with role management and the list of people and their roles is private too, but on the other hand there's no easy way to get the list of your roles. 2. The table of roles and operations is visible to everyone. Everyone knows who are develpers and bug repoters and admins etc. of the project and what they can and can't do. Or this: 3. Something in between? e.g. only project members can view roles, and other users can't? Or maybe you can view the definition of all the roles and you know which role you have, but you don't know what roles the other team members have? What do you think? Any feedback highly appreciated! :) --fr33
