Some dialog boxes have optional fields: - user: uid - group: gid - host: IP address
Some checkboxes maybe considered optional too: POSIX group, force.
For user's uid initially the field is hidden, the admin has to click a link to show the field. For others, the field is shown right away, but there is no indication which fields are required/optional.
One solution is to mark required fields with bold letters or asterisks.
Another solution is to put all optional fields in a hidden section which can be expanded. The issue is that this may limit the layout of the fields.
Work with Kyle to define how we should do it. Putting in September for the design work portion.
This should simply be an asterisks by all of the required fields. Below you should have the standard '*required' text. No need to reinvent the wheel here. Although if we can validate the fields upon entry this would open a series of more elegant options. That also may be out of scope.
