We have a few different survey writers at our company, and recently one of our staff accidentally deleted surveys (an entire folder) belonging to someone else.

That led me to lock down permissionis so that instead of "system administrator" rights for our survey authors, we made them "form administrators" and then set up user groups for each group of surveys, assigned users to those groups, and assigned each person/group rights to just their own surveys.

That works great for letting them create/edit surveys, but they are unable to activate/deactivate them which means they call tech support and have to get one of them to do it.

Wouldn't it make more sense if there was a "form author" that could create/edit, and the "form administrator" could actually activate a survey?

Unfortunately it's meant that I've had to give them "system administrator" role again and run the risk of another accidental deletion from users pointing/clicking in the wrong spots...
