Duplicate Fast and Efficient User Group Settings

[drastic]

All the groups listed across the top.

All the permissions listed down the side.

Yes if the dot is checked. No if not.

We could edit ALL our usergroups on one screen and also visually compare the groups while deciding on what features to give VIP...etc.

I saw this on Steam's website and it's a total time saver.

Could be unwieldy with a lot of usergroups.

One flaw with your suggestion - there are 3 settings for each permission, not 2 - Not Set (No), Allow and Never. So a radio switch wouldn't work.

 

[drastic]

Remove the third setting.

What's the purpose for the third setting anyway?

 

[Jeremy]

Not set means you don't chose yes or no either way, and it's value is derived from other groups. If an allow isn't found, you do not receive the permission. Allow is an explicit permission given and never overrules the permissions granted and revokes it.
