Hi devs,
I'm thinking since a long time that maybe we should automatically make
superadmin the author of the pages when installing a XAR as long as
the current user (and current author) have programming right (i.e. has
the same rights than superadmin when the extension is installed). I
don't really see anything against it these days and it's easy to do so
why not.
Basically the goal is to reduce the possibility to
break extensions
when you play with existing users/groups/rights. Common user case
being to get rid of some old adminsys leaving the company.
The solution you propose looks more like a hack or workaround for the the
problem you mentioned. I'm +0 ATM.
Thanks,
Marius
WDYT ?
Note: to be complete we could imagine the same kind of thing for admin
user but that require the introduction of a virtual admin right user
like superadmin is a vitual programming right user. But let's not
discuss too many thing at once.
