    initial v1  
    11I second the opinion of anonymous, to wit:

    53I would suggest that the user be able to do what the trac project administrator determines that the user can do. This would probably mean that the trac program would need to implement a range of permissions for giving finer grained control of file attachment permissions to the trac administrator. For instance the trac administrator may determine that a user can delete all file attachments, or the user may just be able to delete his own file attachments. Point is that it should be up to the administrator to determine the permissions and not the program. I think that well thought out file attachment permissions will make the system much more robust. Just my opinion.

    95I do not want to grant all of my dev users the WIKI_DELETE permission that would allow them to delete all attachments (and other wiki elements); it's too powerful. Nor do I want them coming to me or one of the other admins if they replace their attachment with a newer version and then want to get rid of the deprecated attachment from the attachment list. It is an occasional nuisance, true; but why should the development team be beholden to me for so trivial an alteration as removing an attachment that they themselves added, if I think them trustworthy enough not to sabotage their own wiki entries by deleting all their attachments in a fit of pique?
