The dashboard needs cap checks on some of the modules. Other than that I think we do cap checks where needed.

@ryan: did we ever figure this out?

  • Keywords 3.2-early added

Marking as 3.2-early, but punting due to entering beta.

This would be a fun project for 3.6.

  • Focuses administration added
  • Keywords needs-patch dev-feedback added; 3.2-early has-patch removed
  • Severity changed from minor to normal

If @obenland is interested, we could do this starting with the 4.3 release.

Oh this is for the screen options. Looked like that was for the welcome page there for a minute.

I think it would be beneficial to have a general plan of what need to be changed and how we want to change it, before we move it into the milestone.

#12 @chriscct7

@obenland Yeah this needs be rehashed before it could go into a milestone. Was proposing 4.3 when I thought what it was is hiding certain welcome page areas based on roles. This is something UX team will want to look at first
