Indeed. I spoke about the permissions system in my reply to Mihail. For 1.8, permissions will be very simple: * Access to a project * Creating projects * Administering Toaster > >So whilst I like the idea, there will be a pressure towards elements of >the other model and there are some reasons for that which we should try >and consider if we can. In this 'distributed' approach, you can grant permissions that match your own permissions, so: * Users who can only access projects cannot create users, and cannot grant permissions of any kind * Users that can create projects can grant access to other users and can grant rights to create projects. * Toaster administrators can grant access, grant rights to create projects and create other Toaster administrators. So as I mentioned before, we don't only distribute the workload: we also distribute the responsibility. If you give someone the rights to administer Toaster, we hope you know what you are doing. I hope this makes sense.
