default permission on new created "software components"

[nopeppermint]

to reproduce:

• create a user
• logout
• login as admin
• give new created user admin rights
• logout
• login as new created user
• click on home/add software component

• confirm
• click on "manage user permissions"
• search for a user (would be nice to have here a list of registered users displayed..)

• it seems as default a user with admin rights has only "read" permission on his own created "software component", not sure if this is just wrong displayed or if that's actually what the real permission is

as a user with admin rights I would expect to have full permission on my own created "software component" per default ;-)

Thanks for filing this issue and for explaining the workflow so clear.
Let me say that this behavior is wanted.
As you can see from the form, the level of granularity you can assign is also considering READ permissions.
The default READ permission is True but you can remove READ permission to target users.
The reason behind that is that sometime, depending of your project and customer, you need to sign an NDA to access some information.
The goal of the ADMIN is not to refine the data engineers are working on. His role is to enable/disable users, reset passwords, configure default test configurations and so on.
Does that make sense to you?

And, I totally agree on having the list of users accessible there, good point!

Yes, I see.

In less restricted areas, it might simplify life of all users, if permissions of all projects could be changed for a single user at one place. If I understand it right, currently every user has to change his permissions on every project separately.

You got it. That's actual situation.
User management is kind of recent feature in BASIL. We have room of improvements there!
You would like to be able to select a single user and assign to him same permission for multiple software components right?

yes, I think that might be useful.

I'll start simplifying the management of user permission for a single software component.
Then we will figure out ho to clone permissions across different sw components.
