Hello, just noticed that a "Guest" can change another user's topic status from "Solved" to "Open". Is this a wanted behavior?

Not logged in, I am a "Guest":

yes it is ok. Since public users can submit topics, no problem they can change status.

Unfortunately there is no check forarticle author access level. I can switch to registered but still anyone will be able to change status of anyone's topics.

Shouldn't it work with:

Field Edit & Submission Access = Public
Who can choose Status = Only Author

A quick test does not give access for Public. Can't even set my own status field. Neither with AJAX, nor on EDIT RECORD. Feels wrong to me.
