Normally, only an admin can save a global search. However, is it possible for a user to save a "non private" search without the actions of an admin. I know that a user can save a search and the admin can make it global, but I would like it to become global immediately. I am assuming this may be done by adding an additional capability to the role "user". If not, I do not mind making a new role for everyone. This new role would be a normal user with the added ability to save searches,
Even better, is it possible for a user to save a search that only his "group" has access to? Maybe have a special role where a user (not an admin) can save a search and everyone in that role can view it?
