How about Context? IMOHO, it has a more generic feel than Project.
Example(s):
In which context do these security values apply
- The Permissions Read, Write and View are used within the "Context" of a
content management system.
- The Permissions Close Portlet, View portlet are used within the "Context"
of Jetspeed.

ditto
p.s.(and somewhat OT)
I've actually already started using this in reverse. I have a service based
on an XML file that binds a set of Groups, Roles and Permission to a
specific context.
Currently I use it to prevent hard-coding required security into actions and
screens. The isAuthorized() method of screens and actions query the
service to find out what security is required for that specific context
(which could be a screen or action or just about anything).
Sample config file
<SecurityContext>
<context name="Security.vm">
<description>Seceurity Maintenance</description>
<group name="agora_system">
<role>user_maintenance</role>
<permission>change</permission>
<permission>add</permission>
</group>
</context>
</SecurityContext>
If anyone is interested, I would be more than willing to donate the code.
