Playlists: User permissions loophole?

[Starkadius 219]

I have a user with the following settings:

 

"Allow user to manage the server" [uNCHECKED]

"Allow deletion of library content"  [uNCHECKED]

 

Yet when going in the playlists this appears

 

 

Looking at that I figured okay "Delete" must mean to delete the playlist right? So I clicked it...

 

Wait what? How is that possible? I was afraid to click "Ok" because obviously I do not want to delete the files so I can't say for certain if this is a loophole or not. Unless the wording on that message needs to be changed to "This will delete the playlist" or something.

 

---

 

What brought this about is that a user was asking me "How do I delete the playlist or change the name?". I was not able to find this anywhere. If anyone can tell me please let me know. Thanks.

I think the same things goes for collections right?

 

When i tested it it removed all the files belonging to the collection and not the linked items themselves, so it did what you expected even though i stopped and thought about the exact same text as you did.

 

I'm gonna try this again, just need to make some copies beforehand

 

 

*edit*

 

Yep it only removes the file which handles the playlist (custom images and whatnot)

Not the items belonging to the playlist, so i think the solution for this is change the wording whenever you delete a playlist and collection.

 

You should test it for yourself though, so you see it does not screw you over

Oh good that answers that. I'll take your word for it and hopefully @@Luke takes note of this. Thanks!

The message should tell you specifically from what path files will be deleted and then there will be no confusion.
