Hi James,

Philippe and I have worked hard to try and make the 'staff' user group as it traditionally stands a very 'as needed' right and so the default is now to give out no rights or "smaller", more focused, rights (meta admin, central notice admin, global interface editor etc) that fit their need. ( we ask for a use case for every rights request, you can see most of them here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvhjkTJIpW2zdDl1bVBuOU1jQUJwOHd... rights aren't on there because they are generally handled by engineering).
Thanks for sharing that link. It didn't work for me the first time, but removing the output= parameter fixes that, so the working URL is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvhjkTJIpW2zdDl1bVBuOU1jQUJwOHd... Please can this be turned onto an on-wiki document, rather than being a google doc, as it's quite an important one that should be transparent to the community as a whole! I'd be happy to help with the wikification if that would be useful.
Thanks, Mike
