As described on TracPermissions groups in trac's permission system can be created by simply assinging somebody to the group. So, if I ""give"" 'joeuser' the permission 'trusted-user' permission, I have automatically created the 'trusted-user' group. However, if I use 'trusted-user' in the authz file, it will be ignored, I have to use 'joeuser', or list all groups again in a '[groups]' section in the authz file. This should at least be mentioned in the docs describing the fine-grained permissions, or, even better, the implementation should be fixed to also use the groups defined in trac in the old-style way.",defect,closed,normal,0.12.4,general,0.12-stable,normal,fixed,documentation authzpolicy,,,,,
