Hi Erik,
Seeing this email I'm thinking your throw-away comment in #ledgersmb has 
merit.Seems like we need a roles/permissions editor for use at a dev level.
Off hand I'd think we may want to revisit the permissions ecosystem possibly 
increasing its granularity and as we would now have an editor include virtual 
roles/permissions.
Then at the instance and company levels allow roles/permissions  to be selected 
as active/inactive so only the ones relevant to a company/instance are 
displayed in the UI

Subject: [Ledger-smb-devel] Intentions behind role 'inventory_adjust' vs        
'inventory_reports' 

Hi,

Today I'm trying to finish my tests for the inventory reports by creating a few 
BDD tests (I already had the database tests) for the reporting functionality.

Now, I try to run the tests using the minimal role set required for the 
functionality. However, I'm finding that I have a problem: I want to use the 
'Search' function in the Goods and Services menu because it lists (among other 
things) the "On Hand" amount.

Granting my test user the "inventory_adjust" permission doesn't give access to 
the Search "report" output. Nor does "inventory_reports" (which provides access 
to the activity report and the inventory and cogs report).

The 'search' node seems to be part of the 'part_edit' role only.

I'm a bit lost here, trying to understand what the correct role would be for 
users who want to do the activities involved in inventory maintenance 
(searching for parts, inspecting parts, inspecting on-hand amounts, entering 
new inventory counts, ....).

Help?
