Admin can SU to himself
0%
Description
As a Admin-User you can switch to the current admin user, too, which simply doesn't make sense here?

You are right. Anyways, for example with linux this is as well possible.
Do you see a special problem in that issue?

Hi Sebastian,
thanks for your quick response!
No, not a real problem (see severity "trivial")... But it looks a bit unlogical to me, so I reported it. :)
Only problem I see is a usability issue: Admins could wonder why there's no if-statement that does check the current user id against the list item ;)
god is in the details

Hi Christian,
I see your point - let's wait for the comment of somebody else. I am still not sure if this worth making the code a bit more complex. - Let's see!
Greets from Dresden,
Sebastian

I think not really worth a change.

... so if even Linus doesn't care about this... ;)
IMHO this report can be closed.

I share the Peter's opinion :-)
