Hi Ruslan & Kristina,

I don't think this is a bug. I'm not going to die in a ditch over it, but for what it's worth I'd vote to revert these patches altogether. They're adding more rules and complexity for very little gain. If a tutor gets past the 'really submit this view' confirmation screen, and submits a view to their own group mistakenly, what's the worst that can happen? They have to release their own view, which hardly seems a big deal.

But even if you think people are offended by the clutter of the submit form, I still think the rules should be simplified. It's just pretty odd that tutors *can't* submit a view when they're they only tutor, and *can* submit a view if there are other tutors in the group. If tutors are annoyed by the clutter of the submit form, they'll be annoyed regardless of how many tutors are in the group. If you really think it's important to restrict submit permission (and I don't) then surely it should be like the release permission, based purely on the user's role within the group, not on how many other users there are in the group with the same role.
