BZAdmin

Post by Zehra »

Hi all,

From the time I've spent here I've realized that BZAdmin is a great tool and excellent for many tasks.
Currently (I think) it could use some small improvements, by providing several options to it.
Some might wish to use BZAdmin, but are not in administrative position, but likely in position of cop or player.
Perhaps the option of having different mottoes could be useful, so someone might use "bzcop" or "bzplayer".

It says bzadmin because that is the name of the tool, not because the person using it is necessarily an administrator. It is there to indicate that the person is using a text client and is not privy to all information and features that are available to the full client.

Makes sense.
I sort of was thinking along the lines of "bzcop" and "bzplayer" being added as a way to indicate if the user using it was a non-administrator.
It perhaps would have still indicated if the user was using a text-based tool, but provide information related to user permissions.

The motto is sent along with the join, before the client could possibly know what permissions it has.
