Yes, I discussed this on IRC with Mads too, a few days ago. I didn't keep the logs, but I suggested something like: Permission overview (for pages that show the calculated permissions for that user or user group), and another term (that I can't recall) for pages that edit the permissions of a particular group. Note that I do not understand currently what it means that someone has read/write/... access to e.g. a user group. I assume (but haven't investigated) that some of the levels do not make sense. Reorganizing these pages is fine for me, but I do not have enough working knowledge currently to give a decent proposal. What I can say, but it is only marginally related, is that I'd like the administration for e.g. users to be more convenient: currently you need to edit a user in order to activate it. It would be convenient if the overview of users had shortcuts for that. Also, a list of inactive users could help here, possible with some batch action possibilities.
