Basic / Advanced Mode

  • Obs. we could even limit access to advanced mode to advanced users, like what we do with the edit menu
  • Changing common rights will be allowed in collapsed mode and expanded mode, but changing other/extended rights will only be allowed in expanded view

Basic Mode

  • presents the common rights (V/C/E/D/A/(R)) using icons, and a last icon signals that other/extended rights are in use
  • has the information regarding the origin of inheritance put in the tooltip

Advanced Mode

  • has a special column that displays simultaneously what inheritance has been overwritten, both in terms of allowance and origin
