Hi Michael,

I understand your pain- the "Remove" action on the permissions page is an atomic operation, and will reset any unsaved changes to the permissions applied to other groups or users.

Fortunately, this page will be reworked in our next major release, and should not cause such difficulties.

Regards,
Karl

Click Remove against which row?

I wanted to make the space public. So two changes were required:

Remove the rows (not shown in the screenshot, they were already removed by this point!) explicitly allowing permission for two users
Change the permissions for Registered Users to allow them permissions.

Making these changes in the order above would have been fine, but because I tried to make them in the reverse order (without knowing to click Save in between steps), I lost my work.

I assume if you click 'Remove' with the red circle on the far right hand side you'll remove the settings completely and be where you started (before you set up permissions)? Is that want to wan to do with that space Michael?

This afternoon I went to change a space that was previously private, accessible only to two people, into a public one. I went onto the Permission Summary screen (cf. attached screenshot).

I started double-clicking each of the boxes in the Registered Users row (fiddly! involves much clicking!). Once I had done this I clicked the delete button against the first user to whom permission had been explicitly granted (me), since this was now redundant. After clicking the button to confirm I did want to delete the row, the row had disappeared correctly, but the Registered Users had reverted to being red-crossed.
