Only Require TICKET_ADMIN Permissions

[John Hampton]

Currently a user needs TRAC_ADMIN permission in order to manage custom ticket fields. It would be nice to be able to allow a user to admin the custom fields without giving them access to the remaining trac config. TICKET_ADMIN could be used for this, or another permission, perhaps, TICKET_CUSTOM_ADMIN could be created.

Attached is a patch that implements the new TICKET_CUSTOM_ADMIN permission. However, simply using TICKET_ADMIN would be just as well for me.

Patch creating a new TICKET_CUSTOM_ADMIN permission

Yeah, see your point. I'm not too keen on adding to the burden of managing yet another permission, and if anything changing to TICKET_ADMIN would be fine by me.

I would like to hear what other users would prefer as well. Anyone out there?

I also think that TICKET_ADMIN is the way to go.

As long as the TICKET_ADMIN user only sees what he can change on WebAdmin, I'm for it. Otherwise, I think it can get confusing.

[John Hampton]

Indeed, this is how it works. If a user only has TICKET_ADMIN permissions, then they will only see the Ticket section of the webadmin.

(In [4016]) CustomFieldAdminPlugin: The "Ay's" have it. For 0.11 and future versions the plugin will only require TICKET_ADMIN permission to modify custom fields.

Closes #3275.
