Changed internal docs on capability 6 (AdminForum) to remove the claim that it can be used to revoke capabilty 4 (WrTForum) from users. I think that feature was planned, but no UI was ever created to support it. Maybe that feature will come someday, but the forum feature is over a year old now. Doing it on this branch because this is all part of... check-in: fd9ba57a6a user: wyoung tags: caps-doc

00:21
Linked to the new material showing Fossil's idea of user power hierarchy from the comment in fossil-v-git.wiki about Fossil's support for the organization's social and power hierarchies. It's not that Fossil has *no* support for enforcing this, it's that it's usually a fairly loose match between the two systems. This is an important point, becaus... check-in: b72795a339 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
00:17
Fixed some URLs still referring to admin-v-setup.md in its old location. check-in: 182c4d7abc user: wyoung tags: caps-doc

Moved the discussion about inadvertent attribution of artifacts and the problems with easy solutions to the problem into the implementation details section of the new caps docs and expanded it to cover recent forum discussions. check-in: 78ad8b7496 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc

Moved www/capabilities.md to www/caps/index.md and www/admin-v-setup.md to www/caps/admin-v-setup.md. Then broke three chunks of the old capabilities.md doc out into new www/caps/* docs: login groups, implementation details of user capabilities, and the user capability reference material. The latter switched from Markdown to HTML format so we cou... check-in: c6cdf9ce8e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc

Merged most of the new material on Setup vs Admin in the new capabilities doc into the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, which already covers this topic. check-in: ee901c7be3 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
03:56
Grepped the Fossil source code for C code that checks for Setup caps exclusively to preotect functions and listed those in the Reference section of capablities.md.

Added (Names) to the "Capability Reference" section of capabilities.md so the reference can be used while reading C source code, which uses these names instead of the capability characters in all code past the login handler. check-in: d48dff8fd7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
2019-08-23
11:49
Clarified the placement of "moderator" and "subscriber" in the power hierarchy expression within www/capabilities.md, since each could float up and down somewhat within the fixed hierarchy we give here. Also fixed a broken URL. check-in: ba88f4f2a7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc
08:31
Added www/capabilities.md, a complete treatment on user capabilities, user categories, login groups, and administration matters involving all of this. It does not replace the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, but a bit of its content did move into this new doc. The new doc also contains the user capability info previously in the forum.wiki doc. ... check-in: 832f107ebb user: wyoung tags: caps-doc

Stronger recommendation for changing the default user's random hex password prior to setting up a Fossil server after learning it's 6 hex digits, not 8 as I thoght when I wrote that! check-in: 9fcd6e443c user: wyoung tags: trunk
