Giving Global/Orgs/RegisterSystems also allows removing systems. After discussing w partha, rephrasing the summary to match the true nature of the problem - the verbs are not intuitively named.
<parthovsky> no you can edit also
<parthovsky> jweiss: create implies you get to do everythign
<jweiss> so... what is the difference between create and manage
<parthovsky> manage is just edit [14:12]
<parthovsky> create = create + edit + read + delete
<jweiss> oh
<jweiss> ok, i think we're going to have to fix that terminology
<jweiss> that's not very intuitive
<parthovsky> yes
<parthovsky> thats a better bug
<jweiss> to me "Manage" sounds like admin privs
<parthovsky> ah
<parthovsky> jweiss: I think jrist complained about that .. I ve just been
slacking [14:13]
<parthovsky> hehe
<jweiss> so i suggest for all CRUD: "Manage".
<jweiss> for just edit: "Edit"
<parthovsky> hm that sounds better actually [14:14]
<parthovsky> jrist: jsherrill: what da ya think
<parthovsky> :)
<parthovsky> mccun934: ^
<jsherrill> i like it
<jsherrill> or maybe "Create and Manage"
<jrist> yeah, it'd be fine if it were consistent, and understandable
<jsherrill> just to differentiate from edit [14:15]
<jweiss> what's currently called "Create" is full privileges right?
<jweiss> we just need a word for that. "Administer"?
<jweiss> or "Full control" [14:16]
<jweiss> but "Create" is definitely not right
<mccun934> parthovsky: yeah, we need to change the terms
<mccun934> definitely confusing
<parthovsky> jsherrill: sadly we neve managed to do the "description" part of
the perms [14:17]
<jsherrill> parthovsky: yeah, that would help
<parthovsky> jrist: did you have any ideas about that [14:18]
<parthovsky> mccun934: thinking of adding some sprint tasks this sprint on
perms
<parthovsky> may be 6 hrs :)
<mccun934> parthovsky: that is fine, just do it at the end of the sprint
[14:19]
<jweiss> here's my suggestions: CRUD: Administer, C/R/U/D = those words - IOW
change "Access" to "Read"
<mccun934> Administer makes sense
<parthovsky> jweiss: and edit is just edit right [14:21]
<jweiss> "Access" to me is ambiguous - doesn't necessarily mean read only
<jweiss> parthovsky: yeah, i guess, "Update" would work too [14:22]
<jweiss> as for create, i suppose that verbs like "Register" in specific cases
like systems also is fine
<jweiss> parthovsky: i'll update the bz
Should be fixed as of http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=katello.git;a=commit;h=037e109349abf6189494de6431d3aeb333ab8a6d mass ON_QA move Permission verbs are named better now, still not perfect but opened separate bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773761 Verified, katello-0.1.229-1.git.0.f2ad9e2.el6.noarch |
