#2497 Site admin permissions should not be as extensive as they are

Closed: Won't Fix
Reopen Issue

Currently, site admins seem to also have admin access to every single project in the installation.
Personally, I think that they should not have that kind of access to projects, as this would make it very easy for them to see content they shouldn't, contrary to what users of the system might think (embargoed security issues for example).

IF we decide to keep this permission, it should be displayed somewhere in the UI (maybe a red border around the avatar in the logged in info upper right?), so that admins are reminded/informed that they have more permissions than other users.

This issue is mostly for discussing that.

Metadata Update from @pingou:

Which permissions do you propose that they should have? AFAICS for dist-git-pagure and releng the required permission would be to be able to create new projects and change the admins/owner of all projects.

no further feedback, comments or discussions in 5 years, closing.
