nice!

Can you tell me more about the use case behind this user role?
In my opinion it is good to give a member of the team the right
to manipulate tracker entries as first permission.

This could be a bug in the gforge software that we are running on wald.
Best is to add a report how to reproduce the problem to the
http://wald.intevation.org/projects/siteadmin
We already know a few shortcomings and work to overcome them.
Our next step will be to upgrade to a newer version of gforge,
for this we run staging tests first.
This is also the prerequisite for us to do further improvements
to the software.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
