trac-admin permission masks

[anatoly techtonik <techtonik@…>]

It would be convenient to use masks in trac-admin permission command.

permission list [user]
        -- List permission rules

permission add <user> <action> [action] [...]
        -- Add a new permission rule

permission remove <user> <action> [action] [...]
        -- Remove permission rule

i.e.

permission list [user] [-m mask]
        -- List permission rules

$ trac-admin list -m *_VIEW
User    Action
----------------------
user1   MILESTONE_VIEW
user1   REPORT_VIEW
user2   ROADMAP_VIEW


Available actions:
  BROWSER_VIEW, CHANGESET_VIEW, CONFIG_VIEW, EMAIL_VIEW, FILE_VIEW,
...

$ trac-admin trac permission add user1 *_VIEW

[Christian Boos]

Maybe, but really this should evolve into handling fine grained permissions, and the old style *_VIEW permissions should go away.
