Feature request: restrict users ability to apply labels

[jtaylor]

At my company we apply version labels at the trunk of our tree when big releases or milestones happen. There are only a few users who are supposed to be involved with setting up these labels. Unfortunately, we from time to time have users who want to use the labelling feature for their own purposes and apply "misguided" labels.

Aside from the obvious "user-education" aspects which are mine to deal with, it would be nice to be able to prevent groups of users from applying labels at all, and/or prevent this at certain points in the tree. Or is there a way to do this already?

Thanks

Currently that is not something that can be changed in security.
I will add that as a feature request.

Beth, add my vote for this feature.

Jason, just curious though, it's not exactly technically harmful is it to have occasional misguided labels?

ismangil - you're right, the labels can be deleted and I haven't encountered any problems doing so yet. I'd love not to have to clean up after people, though

Ah, hate cleaning up -- that's an entirely different matter of course, have to agree 100% there!
