Simplify complex permission management

15 votes

Challenge: If I have many users, which require only a very limited set of permissions, it is quite challenging to take existing rules and remove the unnecessary permissions.
Proposal: I want to have a very locked down user role, which cannot do much. A user with this role gets additional capabilities by dedicated roles for a particular task. As all roles are additive, this allows me to build the user role out of components, like Lego

* In the Permission matrix show all Roles which are based on the same role side by side or add a "based on" Filter
* Add a Filter for Role Names
* Use own Roles as Base for new Roles beside the Builtin Roles
