@jwalgran Parks would like census admins to be able to edit data anywhere. So they automatically get individual mapper status and can map in any group's area without requiring approval from the group first. They can also map in a group's area even if that group has denied individual mappers.
I will verify the existing behavior, ensure that census admins can reserve/survey any block regardless of individual/trusted mapper status, and add unit tests.
Didn't realize this was not assigned to the current sprint milestone. Will hold off on this until we finish all issues in the current sprint first.
Parks has requested, and I think it is a good idea, to use is_superuser = 't'
to lift the group_territory
restriction in https://github.com/azavea/nyc-trees/blob/develop/src/tiler/sql/user_reservable.sql#L29-L31
This doesn't have to happen this sprint, so I am going to put it into the backlog.
I thought census admin status meant they had individual mapper status automatically. Is that not true?
If we gave them automatic mapping privileges in any group's territory does that mean they could also map in a group's area when that group has denied individual mappers all together?
I think they should be able to map anywhere automatically and their admin status should trump a group's desire to not allow individual mappers, but I'll ask Parks once I have clarification on the above two questions.
