[Tracker-discuss] Privacy

[Paul Dubois]

db.security.addPermissionToRole('User', 'View', 'user')

Each Roundup user in effect has an account with a password, and sets their own
email address. They can also provide additional email addresses from
which they may send mail to roundup, besides their 'main' one.
