Bug Description

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-cloaks/+add-my-teams

brings up:

"This is a restricted team

New members can not be proposed—they can only be added by one of the team's administrators."

So, why are you showing me a menu option to do it? Why not hide it for restricted teams, where only the admins will have power to make this kind of change?

To be honest, hiding the link would also enfuriate the other 50% of our userbase by making it inconsistent -- bugs are then files "why can't I add-my-teams?". The real way to fix this is to get rid of the actions portlet and make sure the "add my teams" link appears close to the place where we say the team is restricted.

I'm okay with hiding it, though, given it's the lesser of evils.

Actually, what i'd first wondered was "why can i seem to add teams that
i'm a part of, yet not add other people?"

I'd say that's even more confusing again :)

The link needs to be disabled and the tooltip set to explain why.
