Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup 12/28] api: allow namespace creation on append permissions
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 19:09:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813171002.809441-13-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813171002.809441-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>

Only require full modify permissions for moves and namespace
destruction, allow namespace creation also with append permissions.
