Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Should a user be able to remove their own privileges?

Bringing this to phpmyadmin--devel for further discussion. This is specifically related to implementing feature request 1488 "User privilege tab not shown in all relevant cases" [1] On 7/16/14, 4:00 PM, Chirayu Chiripal wrote: I think ideally, we would allow this but display a message warning that it's a bad idea. Something like "You are attempting to remove privileges from the user with which you are currently logged in. This is generally a bad idea and might result in you being unable to log in or change privileges. Are you sure you wish to remove these privileges?" I can't think of a scenario when a user would actually want to do this; but just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean we should prevent the user from doing it, right? Or in this case, is it reasonable to disallow this action? What does everyone else think? 1 - https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/feature-requests/1488/
