Bug #1481
openaccess list should support multiple selections in tree
0%
Description
Current access list dialog allows users to select only one person in the user
tree at a time, and set permissions for that user. This enhancement request is
to allow for multiple user's ACL entires to be changed and selected at once. To
accomplish this, one possible approach would be to: 1) allow multiple select
from the table of acess rules, and 2) select each of these in the tree when
moving to the access tree. Adding more users by shift clicking would add new
records to the table. Need to be careful that it is clear to users that if they
deselect a person from the tree, their entry will be removed from the table. As
users can be spread apart very far in the tree (so multiple selections aren;t
simultaneously visible), this might be hard, especially because a single click
on the tree clears all of the current selections. We might want to change the
selection mechanism for the tree to be a 'double click' on a user to toggle
selection/deselection. This would make it harder to accidentally clear a bunch
of records, even though it is somewhat non-standard (shift and ctrl click are
more typical).
