The goal is not to discuss the way to fix this issue for good here.
I'm just proposing to do this easy change (which I don't agree is a
hack, you could argue that you expect the author of extension pages to
be some system user) which among other things make this use case a lot
less common.
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
