Brad, Chris and I discussed this on IRC today. I think we can do something along these lines, with about 1-2 weeks of additional work. I think it will lead to a nicer UI, which definitely should be a goal. The IRC log is here: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Auth_systems/OAuth/IRC_log_2013-06-06> I'm recommending making these "groups" of rights be both a UI concept and a storage concept, very similar to the existing group feature, rather than storing right grants and somehow bidirectionally mapping them to group grants in the UI layer. That way, future code changes can split rights (e.g. upload -> upload/reupload), and have all the OAuth grants be implicitly updated by changing the group map. Since we would go crazy trying to talk about both the OAuth feature and the existing user feature as being "groups", Chris suggested using the term "permission" to refer to the fundamental unit of an OAuth grant. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
