    6 Permission privileges are managed using the [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] tool.
     6Permission privileges are managed using the [TracAdmin trac-admin] tool or the ''General / Permissions'' panel in the ''Admin'' web interface.
     7
     8In addition to the default permission policy described in this page, it is possible to activate additional permission policies by enabling plugins and listing them in the `[trac] permission_policies` configuration entry in the TracIni. See TracFineGrainedPermissions for more details.
    79
    810Non-authenticated users accessing the system are assigned the name "anonymous". Assign permissions to the "anonymous" user to set privileges for anonymous/guest users. The parts of Trac that a user does not have the privileges for will not be displayed in the navigation.
    9 
    1011In addition to these privileges, users can be granted additional individual rights in effect when authenticated and logged into the system. All logged in users belong to the virtual group "authenticated", which inherits permissions from "anonymous".

    1213== Available Privileges ==

    14 To enable all privileges for a user, use the `TRAC_ADMIN` permission. Having `TRAC_ADMIN` is like being `root` on a *NIX system, it will allow you perform any operation.

    83100== Permission Groups ==
     101
     102There are two built-in groups, "authenticated" and "anonymous".[[BR]]
     103Any user who has not logged in is automatically in the "anonymous" group.[[BR]]
     104Any user who has logged in is also in the "authenticated" group.[[BR]]
     105The "authenticated" group inherits permissions from the "anonymous" group.[[BR]]
     106eg. if the "anonymous" group has permission WIKI_MODIFY, it's not necessary to add the WIKI_MODIFY permisison to the "authenticated" group as well.
     107
     108Custom groups may be defined that inherit permissions from the two built-in groups.
    84109
    85110Permissions can be grouped together to form roles such as ''developer'', ''admin'', etc.
     
    92117}}}
    93118
    94 Group membership can be checked by doing a {{{permission list}}} with no further arguments; the resulting output will include group memberships. Use lowercase for group names, as uppercase is reserved for permissions.

     120
     121== Adding a New Group and Permissions ==
     122Permission groups can be created by assigning a user to a group you wish to create, then assign permissions to that group.
     123
     124The following will add ''bob'' to the new group called ''beta_testers'' and then will assign WIKI_ADMIN permissions to that group. (Thus, ''bob'' will inherit the WIKI_ADMIN permission)
     125{{{
     126   $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add bob beta_testers
     127   $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add beta_testers WIKI_ADMIN
     128
     129}}}
    95130
    96131== Removing Permissions ==
     
    107142You can also remove all privileges for a specific user:
    108143{{{
    109   $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove bob *
     144  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove bob '*'
    110145}}}
    111146
    112147Or one privilege for all users:
    113148{{{
    114   $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove * REPORT_ADMIN
     149  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove '*' REPORT_ADMIN
    115150}}}
    116151
    117152== Default Permissions ==
    118153
    119 Granting privileges to the special user ''anonymous'' can be used to control what an anonymous user can do before they have logged in.
     154By default on a new Trac installation, the `anonymous` user will have ''view'' access to everything in Trac, but will not be able to create or modify anything.
     155On the other hand, the `authenticated` users will have the permissions to ''create and modify tickets and wiki pages''.
    120156
    121 In the same way, privileges granted to the special user ''authenticated'' will apply to any authenticated (logged in) user.
