Let's start a new thread to look a bit more at different roles.
I saw these two proposals:
Stefan Seyfried proposed a machine use case:
Having a few "presets" with the most common use cases, best accompanied with a short description is still a good idea IMHO. Maybe stuff like:
* "Admin configured server": you need the root password for all changes
-> basically like in good old times before polkit and friends: you'll
need to "su -" and then use yast or whatever to change stuff.
* "User configured laptop": you are allowed to connect to WiFi networks,> connect printers and install package updates with your user account. For adding software repositories and installing additional software, you'll need the root passowrd.
* "third preset": I have no idea what a third preset could be
I think having this type of preset policy model may suffice. For everything else we'd provide the super flexible dialog dialog. I cannot not see where a role based model will provide a simple and quick at install time. The preset "access model" as described above can be a simple one click selection at install time, with the more detail settings dialog hanging of this dialog and activated by clicking on "Advanced Settings". I don't think we need to do any more than the combination of the two, i.e. preset "access model" + flexible select per function each user's allowed access.
