Confusing permissions settings in dashboard

[brent-hoover]

Should things like Migrations and Job Control which don't currently have a UI still show up in the Permissions panel?

I've thought about this as well, especially confusing where we have multiple permissions with the same name (Orders, orders, orders).

I also think we might need a "partial" state for the top level permission rather than on off. It's a bit confusing as to what the rule is when the top permission is on or off but subset of the underlying permissions are on/off.

Totally agree, I've always thought this was confusing. It's also potentially dangerous b/c you don't know what permissions you are giving to certain users. I think it's ok to have permission groups of there are different parts of say, Analytics, you would want to allow permissions for certain users but it must be properly labeled.

I think that top level has to be a group. So you are giving permission to all of analytics to a user. Anything underneath would need to be a sub-grouping of analytics.

I am classifying this as a bug but I feel like this needs to be a core bug because it probably involves implementing some new functionality? I'm adding this new label called "core-bug" which means the community team should leave it for core. If you disagree I'm fine with passing it back to us.

@zenweasel I think we need some design direction along with some @reactioncommerce/architecture direction.

I agree that it's an area in need of some attention, and while it's not a feature request, it's more of a UIX bug than anything.

Closing as this refers to an old version of the UI
