Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Making Addressbook Entries Readable by All

[Chris Weiss]

No it's a matter of deligation.  A traveling sales person has his secretary 
update a
clients address info in his address book.  It's not her item, it's his item, 
but she
needs to be able to help him take of keeping it up to date, as well as adding 
new
items.  Believe it or not, there are people out that think they are too busy to 
be
bothered with things like data entry tasks and hire someone to do these things 
for them.
