Permissions

Summary

• Should we have a policy of creating new permissions so that things mean what they say, rather than leveraging existing sometimes related ones?
  • site.upd issues for flexibility

Strawman Proposal

[From Clay:]

• Rather than taking site.upd as a broad authority, each tool (or at least each tool which provides some site maintainer options) should have its own <tool>.upd permission.
• Site Info permissions should be more fine-grained. The tool comprises a fairly broad set of site management pieces, some of which could be appropriate for TAs/Tutors to manage while at the same time constraining their access to others.
