I would like to know exactly what the "Add/Delete Data" permisssion controls. So far I have been able to determine that when this permisiion is not available, after choosing to create a project I cannot type into the client name field and actually create a client name. It only popoulates with previously created client names. If I go to "Clients and Contacts" first, I can create a new client.

Somehow I don't see how this makes sense. I would expect Add/Delete Data to be concerned with product data not clients...

Hi,
You are correct - this issue has been logged as a bug.

If you have the Edit Client permission you will be able to add clients via the Clients and Contacts area.

However currently in the New Project Wizard you need both Edit Client and Add/Edit Data to add new clients.

When will this be fixed?
I am trying to use the "Add/Edit Data" permission to limit upstream data syncing which happens transparentally as long as users can still create clients in the New Project Wizard.
Having my users create customers by adding an additional step causes me problems that are harder to explain. One of my power users for example would otherwise not notice his inability to send data upstream...

This is being fixed in 5.5 SP2.
