When creating a series for a community of users, I generally only want to count
the bugs they are permitted to know about. Currently, I have to create all
public series datasets under an administrative account with unlimited permissions.
We need to be able to create accounts specifically for the purpose of owning
series datasets. These accounts would have the ability to create public
datasets, but would otherwise have no more privileges than their peers.
To do this, the privilege to create public datasets needs to be distinct from
"admin" and, when usevisibilitygroups is enabled, the scope of the public
population needs to be limited to the users to whom the dataset creator is visible.

Or create them under the account you want, and briefly give that account admin
permissions in order to make the data sets public. Granted, it's not ideal, and
we should fix this bug, but what you want to do is possible.

Simply relax who can make his series public. To use new charts, you need to be a member of the chartgroup (by default: editbugs). Why not allowing them to also make their series public, if they want to?

I don't think that's even possible. I see nothing in the code that allows making a data set public *after* it's been created.
