While we're pitching terms, *nix, which unashamedly uses "groups"
for these things, talks about "permissions" or "perms" while
the access control list school of thought talks about the "ACL".
Permissions, privileges, capabilities are generally handled by
the environment in which a program is operating, which leads me
to the suspicion that you're operating in a CGI context. Assuming
you're using something else for the authentication phase, and
since accounting was not mentioned in your query, I'll propose
CGI::Perms::Baird
as something to work from. Boldly brand!
