Description
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.

Thanks.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

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().

Marked #427784: Drupal 6 taxonomy does not have the 'allow delete term' permissions as a duplicate.

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. :)
