Summary19270: Permission edit page is more usable for SurveyGroup than for Survey
Description

In 6.X : usage of dialog to manage permission this broke some great usage on Permission page
We can see the previous system in SurveyGroup

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

Add an user to Survey permission to give all permission in 5.X and 6.X

Expected result

better UX in 6

Actual result

lower UX in 6

  1. In 5.X : redirected direct to User permission page after user Add , in 6.X : must search the new user + 2 click to open the page (if we have 100 user it can be really awful)
  2. In 5.X : can check ALL permission in one click
  3. In 5.X : have a title for user name : we can check if it's the good user (Security is better)
  4. In 5.X : have a title of the survey : security is better ( check before validate)
TagsNo tags attached.

@tibor.pacalat: I was just about to report the same issue for a customer who has updated recently and is using Limesurvey a lot. Not only is the work-flow worse (you need to manually assign permissions at a second step) but also the check-all checkbox for assigning all permissions is missing at 6.x so you need several clicks to assign all permissions, see screenshot.
For new users this is a bad UX because they miss adding permissions.
For existing users this is far worse than before and more difficult to deal with.

Modal dialogs should be used for short, direct dialogs with the user. If a modal requires the user to do complex research or consult additional sources of information (potentially blocked by the modal), then it’s not the right UI element for that interaction.

@tibor.pacalat: We definitely need the "check all" checkbox. That helps a lot and I have heard many people complaining about this bad UI design.

A check all by columns can be great too.
