<br />
Each user can have permissions assigned to it directly or be a member of a permissions group for easy bulk administration.<br />
<br />
A wide variety of operations are assigned a permission (these are either coded within the system or added automatically by plugins once installed). These permissions can be explicitly set (allowed or denied) on a per-user or per-group basis. If a permission is undefined then the next level of specificity is tested (hence the most-specific model).<br />
<br />
When a permission is requested it is determined as follows:<br />
<br />
* Is the permission set specifically for the user (allowed or denied), in which case this is used.<br />
* Does the user have a default permission (allowed or denied), in which case this is used.<br />
If the user is a member of a permission group:<br />
* Is the permission set specifically for the group (allowed or denied), in which case this is used<br />
* Does the group have a default permission (allowed or denied), in which case this is used<br />
If no matching permission is found:<br />
* Permission Denied<br />

= Examples =<br />
<br />
== One ==<br />
<br />
The permission "one" is set as denied for the permission group, the user has it and default undefined.<br />
<br />
Permission is denied.<br />
<br />
== Two ==<br />
<br />
The permission "two" is set as denied for the permission group, the user has it undefined but default is allowed.<br />
<br />
The permission is allowed.</div>Dave
