Description

The permission system is one of the corner stones of the system but it's currently way too complicated to understand and use. Because the system also has a major impact on the security of the application the implementation should be as water tight as possible. This is hard to achieve because the code is so complicated.

A simpler system should be designed and implemented some time in the future.

We are better off rewroting the whole thing to use ACL's or something similar. Fixing the old system would be hard.
