New users have access to all repositories

[davidcstuart]

I have a situation where I need to have an administrator for each repository. These administrators have the ability to add users. However, when they add users, by default the users are given access to ALL repositories. Since the administrator does not have access to ALL repositories, they cannot remove access for these new users. They have to call me (I'm the holder of the "admin" user) to get access removed from unneccessary repositories. Is there some way around this? If not, could you add this as a feature request?

Forgot to mention I'm running 3.0.2

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to handle this right now - we'll add it as a feature request.

Just a suggestion for this - you could make it so that when someone creates a new user, it copies their permissions to the new user. That way, you can never create a user with more permissions than yourself.

Is that possible? I know how to use the "Copy Rights Assignments", but is there a way to make it happen automatically? Also, does that affect Repository access? I thought it only did folder security rights. From what I understand, those are two separate things.

Sorry, I was suggesting it to Dan as a possible way to implement your feature request. It was not meant as a workaround for you.
