Description
Hi,
I would like to propose an RFE regarding the way trac permissions are grouped. I wish to use OS groups instead of recreating them in trac-admin. This way, all that is required to set user permissions is to assign system groups to trac roles. That way I would be able to reuse my OS groups and not have to redefine them and reassign users to groups again.
Thanks for considering this RFE, Eric

This doesn't seem like a practial solution for managing Trac permissions. The Python modules for working with system groups are Unix-only, so a cross-platform implementation would be quite difficult. Also, this would mean that all users logging into Trac would have to have a system account on the webserver running the application. This may happen in some setups, but I think there will be a lot of situations in which the developers using Trac will not have any system account on the webserver.
