Display of nested permission sets

Björn Muschall

Leipzig development team took a look.

This is a UI-only change to a single line of code.  Does displaying nested permission sets cause a problem?

Requirements of a proposed Permissions app

Maura Byrne

In a Permissions app, we want to do the following:

• See which permissions a user has

• See which users have a certain permission set

• Assign users to permission sets (not just the other way around) 

• See what are the effective permissions for this user.

  • Listing the sub permissions included in the permission sets assigned to a user and where they come from (which sets they are from)

• See the permission sets that a specific permission is assigned to

• We discussed large numbers of nested permissions, but we decided at this time that it was an uncommon edge case.  We would find a solution later.

Possible issues:

There was some discussion of where this app should exist.  The majority voted for a module in the Settings app.  (Unless a developer says different.)

There was a discussion regarding whether we should take responsibility for the app, with Patty as PO.  No decision was reached.
