Permission names

Summary

We have a complete mess of permission names.

• about - The about page.
• components - To view the Extras menu.
• menu_user - Show the top menu item "User".
• counties - To view a list of countries.
• create - Generic"create" access on new objects.
• directory_create - To create a physical directory.
• new_chunk - To create a new Chunk.
• edit_role - To edit any Role.
• policy_edit - To edit an Access Policy.

Why is it needed?

I think we need clear rules for naming permissions.

Suggested solution(s)

• about -> view_about_page.
• components -> view_components_menu.
• countries -> list_countries.
• create -> create_object.
• new_chunk -> create_chunk.

I.e. {action}_{object}. Or {object}_{action}.

[Ruslan-Aleev]

I would name it exactly {object}_{action}, because otherwise create_chunk and delete_chunk will not be next to each other in the list of permissions. Ideally, we also need grouping of permissions (such as general, chunk, template, etc.).
