A popular requirment is to allow users to edit themself. However, currently this is difficult with Ez, in addition documentation for this is very limited. Just setting and tuning the various roles permissions etc. takes ages, and then you have to start looking at all the drafts this might create (which again is almost unaccesible due to lack of docs and complex roles).

A possible consequnce of the tuning of roles etc. in order to allow for user editing can be compromised security. This as administrator gets frustarated and sets up to wide permissions for each user. And then of course EZ can get a uneccesary reputation for poor security.

Just my thoughts after spending some days setting a new user selfedit etc.

Cheers
