FYI, I requested here to provide more context to the developer.
Don't hesitate to create a thread and complete.
Sorry @xMiso - it's my fault that this didn't get announced ahead of time.
I have also passed y'all's feedback onto the team so they are aware of the developer experience in Console.
No worries @ellativity , happens sometimes 😉 Fortunately this required only 2-3 lines of code to change in all my actors so it looked worse at first sight than it was in the end. However I'd say the wording of Full permission tag in Actor is so scary I am starting to think about what kind of things I could do to my users but had no idea about :))))
am starting to think about what kind of things I could do to my users but had no idea about💯 You're so right @xMiso This is a side-effect of us sharing this info! As I mentioned in the conversation I had with a couple of y'all earlier, this is really the edge cases of security, but now we have changed it we are also highlighting vulnerabilities that people might not have been previously aware of. It's a double-edged sword. Thanks to your feedback, I think we will tone down the wording during this transition phase, to allow everyone to update your Actors without scaring off users. However, I understand that the plan is the badge will eventually return to the current wording, so everyone please be aware of this as you decide whether or not to migrate your current Actors.
BTW I can't help myself but IMHO this badge has not correct wording , when user pays for actor and it sees Limited permissions he may feel like there is something what is limited to him...should be worded different way. Like "Safe Mode" Actor, "Run-Safe" Actor etc. Just an idea...
