Why aren't you an admin of it? ogra is the admin, but my question is why should I have to be an admin in the first place? I'm pretty sure the majority of teams use admins just for membership approval so it's usually just the team lead/owner. Now you have to give full privileges to a person just to allow them to add/remove bug contacts. In the teams that I am owner/admin I don't want to have to make the whole team admins just so they can add/remove the team as a bug contact. In the smaller, working teams that I run, if a person can't be trusted with setting bug contacts then I frankly don't want them on the team and will remove them if they continue to abuse it. > > This is quite annoying as there are a lot of teams that don't need > > such control and only have the team owner as admin.

I can't help but think that a significant number of potential users will end up leaving Launchpad due to not being able to customize it to meet their needs. I've not come across a service that has "roles" that does not allow you to change the specific privileges a "role" has. -Jordan
