Supervisor role cannot import new vocabulary

[allanaaa]

No "Import new vocabulary" button. They also can't edit or delete.

If it's up in the air, I would vote to give them importing & editing but not deleting. Or maybe just editing their own vocabularies, not the base ones / ones installed by the global admins. The manual says:

Search, read, and create privileges for Vocabularies (cannot delete)

which doesn't say anything about editing either.

I'd vote for

• Search and read
• Import, edit, and delete own
• Not delete those owned by others

Edit in this context actually does make sense, since it means that you can change the language and label application. And also, reimport/update the vocab.

There is, of course, a question of whether or not Vocabs actually have owners.

So yeah just to get the lay of the land here, the actual rules in current usage explicitly deny the import page, and underlying create/update/delete for vocab objects, from the Supervisor role.

Vocabularies do have owners recorded for them.

Branch vocab-supervisor contains the fix here: it allows supervisors to do the import, and to update/remove only the vocabs they themselves imported.

Can confirm that with Supervisor role, I can

• see and use, but not edit existing vocabs
• import new vocab
• edit those I import
• delete those I import
