Ability to Hide Schedule Refresh Option

Organizations are limited to the number of Scheduled Refreshes they can have. For large organizations, that limit can be quickly reached, resulting in a "1st Come, 1st Serve" motto in terms of who can schedule a refresh. Could there be a way to either increase the number of allowed Scheduled Refreshed or hide the option altogether to be able to cut-down on user frustration when they find they are not able to schedule a refresh due to company limits being hit.

tt 05/07/08	Scheduling is a profile permission - you can turn it off for any and all profiles, meaning no users but the "system admin" could have "schedule a dashboard" turned on.
tt 07/09/08	Or did you want more than the current profile permission that restricts this?
drhohlsson 07/14/08	Turning off the permissions is sufficient for now. Though it would be nice to have the limits increased.
tt 07/14/08	Changed status to Existing Feature.
tt 07/14/08	If you can suggest a newer and better limiting scheme in a new idea, that would be great... We tried to work on a simple schema that would let small companies get some refreshes, and large companies get enough, but weren't able to devise it. We would have to do something like making the refreshes 1/2 of the square root of the user count. That seemed an odd limit to impose on everybody, and still wouldn't have worked out for many Professional Edition customers, nor for Developers. But we don't have a monopoly on good ideas. If you can think of a way to get a simple rule to give the number of refreshes that gives customers who pay for UE more refreshes, and doesn't close out 5-user Professional Edition, please post it.
