Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Making Addressbook Entries Readable by All

[SI Reasoning]

For the most part these abilities already exist...just not laid out in a clear 
and
intuitive manner. That is the real problem here. For instance, when setting up a
group, why not also link a group with a global category? That would resolve a 
lot of
these issues I would think. For instance one could create a group called 
everyone
and a category called everyone, link the two together and everyone has access to
everyone. The user global access options are a mess in my opinion. They are not
intuitive, one has to go to every option to set them (why not a try global 
acl?) and
it is tough for an administrator because it forces them to have to remember all 
of
the passwords.

I believe that the whole acl system needs to be rebuilt and laid out more 
intiutively.
