If a user is assigned the fmeadmin role, whilst they have permission to access and create items, they cannot view items (repositories/schedules etc) created by other users unless explicitly set under those user/role permissions. Currently the only way to expose everything to the admin is to assign the fmesuperuser role.

Instead I would like to be able to provide full permissions on a per item basis, for example if I have multiple administrators, I may not want them all to have fmesuperuser privileges but I would like to give full permissions to certain components. E.g. As an Admin I can see all scheduled jobs in the Job History no matter the user that owns them, so I would like to see all Schedules on the Schedules page as soon as they created by other admins without having to go in and modify my own security settings to get full access to these.

It seems the permission should be more granular on both the item and individual objects level.

I submitted another ide similar to it.

https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/80291/read-only-permission-for-schedules-and-connections.html

The same with schedules, I'd like them to be visible (but not modifiable) to all my users so they can find a slot instead of just hoping that their wokspace won't be queued for ages.

It seems permissions should be more granular on both the item type and individual level.
