the latter (`myname') is directly and consistently reported as the
user doing future commits and wiki as well as ticket changes. this is
perfectly how it should be. however: `myname' is reported as having
only "reader" capabilities (`u') in the web GUI.
I believe this is by design. Basically, when you run fossil ui, you are
given temporary capabilities of ``sx'' for as long as fossil ui is
running. I think this makes sense given that if you can run fossil ui on
a repository, you can do much worse to it.
The actual capabilities stored in the db for that user come into effect
if that user is used in a remote interaction with the fossil.
I see. thanks for clarifying. so then everything seems perfect with your
fix AFAICS. hopefully, this will make it quickly
into trunk and the next release. thanks again for looking into this.
I also noted (this is unrelated to your fix!) that the CLI for `fossil
user list' does not report the capabilities for the "real" users (it
only does so for the generic users (developer etc.)).
I don't see any capabilities listed here:
$ f user list
amb amb-fos...@bradfords.org
anonymous Anon
developer Dev
nobody Nobody
reader Reader
The second column is the ``contact info'' for the user.
uphs -- my mistake (I had no contact info for the real user(s) so that
column was empty there and I was taking
the rest (Anon, etc.) as symbolic names for the capabilities. would it not
be more sensible to omit these
"pseudo contact info" altogether (or replace it by `NA', `--', or `none'?)
I do concede that it would be nice if there were an option to ``user
list'' that would include the capabilities of each user.
why not just all the time as a further column?
issuing the (syntactically wrong) command `fossil user capabilities'
yields the usage text:
Usage: fossil user user capabilities USERNAME ?PERMISSIONS?
