Any easy way to prevent delegated users from deleting and editing terms?

Issue Summary

Terrific module. My hope is to let delegated roles/users add terms to a vocabulary freely, but not to allow them to delete terms (a single user could end up deleting/editing out everyone else's contributions to a taxonomy this way). Is there a fairly straightforward way of doing this? I suppose hiding the "edit" buttons beside terms would do it? I suppose an alternative could be an easy way to revert all of a single users deletions if need be as a moderation-activity, not sure...

Okay, users will have to have the new permission "allow delete term" before they will see a "Delete" button.

Committed to both branches.

This fix works fine, except that there isn't a way to assign the permission required to allow users to delete terms. The attached patch adds the "allow delete term" permission to the user permission page using hook_perm().

Oh wow, I have been looking for such a module for at least 5 days now...Letting users edit and add terms to a taxonomy without having full admin rights to the vocabulary in question. Will be testing this patch now.

Would be cool to get in here a moderation feature as well :P so admin could approve or reject new terms, and term edits. :)

May we have this patch committed to at least the dev (not changed for one year, the stable release is from 2008)

i read in this topic everything about deleting, but just as the issue starter i to need a way to users create terms, but not to delete them NOR to edit them. So only adding. Is there any news on that?

Is this committed?
Can this issue be closed?

I notice a taxonomy_delegate_perm function, but not exactly the one of the patch.
(no case to check, but cleaning up my watch list)
