That's a horrible use of groups and colors...peopleopinion wrote:Let me try to explicate one useful use of this eventual feature:Master_Cylinder wrote:I don't see where this one helps or hurts so I'm neutral on this one...
For example it will be possible to see "at a glance" what are permissions of the group. For example if you set permissions from red (cannot write or use any feature) and green (can write and use all features) will be possible to have a color code defined by admin that represents some kind of "status" of a group and users inside it. And "at a glance", altogether in one page, will be possible to understand what permissions or privileges everyone has...
Might be you are right but imho it is the same motivation of why colored users are used as well as in the following attachment:Master_Cylinder wrote:That's a horrible use of groups and colors...peopleopinion wrote:Let me try to explicate one useful use of this eventual feature:Master_Cylinder wrote:I don't see where this one helps or hurts so I'm neutral on this one...

Have you LOOKED in the ACP > Users and Groups > Manage groups? The word is "Administrators." How would making THAT a certain color help you know that it's the Administrator group? it facilitates nothing except the desire to make it match the username colors. If you need that page to be color coded to recognize what group it is, then color alone won't be enough.peopleopinion wrote:Master_Cylinder wrote:She did explain.

Maybe it is pure cosmetic as you said but it facilitate the recognition of groups imho.
