TracPermissions is unclear about case-sensitivity

[anonymous]

TracPermissions needs to be updated to help the newbie user understand that permssions are case-sensitive. A listing of the out-of-the-box rights for user anonymous would also be helpful.

Are you volunteering?

The TracPermissions page already says:

Otherwise, individual privileges can be assigned to users for the various different functional areas of Trac (note that the privilege names are case-sensitive):

I made the case-sensitive note bold, so that should help new users.

Okay, also updated the TracPermissions page to describe the default permissions that the anonymous user will have after a new installation. See TracPermissions.

Still need to get this into the repo.

As all the wiki updates should normally make it in the next release, you can safely assign the next stable milestone for this kind of tickets.

Is it okay to close this? It was rolled into the 0.10.1 release..

Replying to sid:

I think the TracPermissions needs to be updated: ROADMAD_VIEW is an alias for MILESTONE_VIEW, which is not clear in the documentation.

BTW, I think ROADMAP_VIEW has been deprecated for 0.10 but kept for compatiblity and was scheduled for deletion (no milestone defined).

#3022 is about removing ROADMAP_ADMIN. I added a comment to also see if cleaning up ROADMAP_VIEW should be part of the scope of that ticket.

The case-sensitivity part has now been clarified in TracPermission (and in the permission page for the webadmin module as well), but the updated page has still to be incorporated into the set of default wiki pages in the repository.

I don't see this being done for 0.10.x anymore, though.

created wiki:0.11/TracPermissions and adjusted for 0.11.
