Define Badge Issuer Role

Hi,

We are wanting to define another use role that has the additional permissions to award site badges to users.

We tried using the authenticated user as a base role then added in the permissions to award badges:

Then set up a site badge that could be manaully awarded by this user role & assigned test user with this system role.

We get a permisison error when using this role to try and award site badges.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

We would like to develop this role to help shift the sole responsibiity from the site manager, by having dedicated badge issuer users.

Hi Ira,

That sounds like an issue that should be fixed in code. I will have a look and will let you know as soon as possible.

Hi Ira,

Just to let you know, this should be fixed in the next 2.4 release next week. I attached a patch for this issue in case you need it. 

Please let me know if you have any problems with it.
