[phpesp-dev] permissions for results & export

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

I am reviewing some code for the upcoming release of phpESP
v1.5. In the designer permissions there is the field labled
"Export Survey Data," which isn't really used in practice.
Basically, if a user Joe owns a survey (ie. was the creator
of it), then Joe can export and download data, and view the
online results.

Back when I was making the various permissions a designer
could have I was thinking that this should really be called
"View Survey Data," and even a survey owner would not be
allowed to see the data for a survey they created. The
logic being that some surveys may contain sensative
information, and it might be desireable to let anyone
create a survey, but not activate it and get the data.

I want feedback from anyone who actually uses the whole
permissions scheme on how it works and doesn't work, and
what you think of the "data access" issue above. If no one
uses permissions, that would also be nice to know. So if
you have a second to answer three yes/no's then hit the
survey below.
