Problem/Motivation

I can't get any other user than user 1 to be able to add Drupal projects (in a relevant term reference field). All permissions are enabled, and I tried both editing existing content and creating new.
This makes the field difficult to use for the average site user.

Proposed resolution

Find how the access restriction(?) for the autocomplete works, and change it.

Remaining tasks

Find a solution.
Implement the solution.
Test the solution.

User interface changes

When users other than uid 1 starts typing in a term field for Drupal projects, the autocomplete function will provide a dropdown of suggestions.

API changes

(unknown)

Ok, I found it! The permission for the autocomplete callback was 'administer content', when it should be 'administer nodes'.

I took the liberty of suggesting a new permission for this, 'use web_taxonomy', since I think it's rather limiting to only allow content administrators to use this autocomplete.

Patch attached!

Changing project. It turned out that the bug was in Web Taxonomy, not in the Drupal Documentation Web module.
