[Vtigercrm-developers] role based picklists... does it make sense?

[Steve Kenow]

The same thing happens when you deactivate a user and then edit a record
they were assigned to as the owner - it reassigns the ownership to the
person at the top of the list. I've gotten around this by creating a role
that marks them as 'Inactive' and they don't have access to anything.
