    8 Regular visitors, non-authenticated users, accessing the system are assigned the default  
    9 role (''user'') named {{{anonymous}}}.  
    10 Assign permissions to the {{{anonymous}}} user to set privilegies for non-authenticated/guest users. 
     8Non-authenticated users accessing the system are assigned the name "anonymous". Assign permissions to the "anonymous" user to set privileges for anonymous/guest users. The parts of Trac that a user does not have the privileges for will not be displayed in the navigation. 
    119 
    12 In addition to these privileges users can be granted additional individual  
    13 rights in effect when authenticated and logged into the system. 
     10In addition to these privileges, users can be granted additional individual rights in effect when authenticated and logged into the system. All logged in users belong to the virtual group "authenticated", which inherits permissions from "anonymous".

     14To enable all privileges for a user, use the `TRAC_ADMIN` permission. Having `TRAC_ADMIN` is like being `root` on a *NIX system, it will allow you perform any operation. 
    3015 
    31 The {{{something_ADMIN}}} privileges are just shortcuts that can be used to grant a user all the ''something'' privileges in one go. Having {{{TRAC_ADMIN}}} 
    32 is like being {{{root}}} on a *NIX system, it will let you do anything you want. 
     16Otherwise, individual privileges can be assigned to users for the various different functional areas of Trac (note that the privilege names are case-sensitive): 
    3317

     65 
     66== Granting Privileges == 
     67 
     68You grant privileges to users using [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]. The current set of privileges can be listed with the following command: 
    4069{{{ 
    4170  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission list 
    4271}}} 
    4372 
    44 This command will let the user ''bob'' delete reports: 
    45  
     73This command will allow the user ''bob'' to delete reports: 
    4674{{{ 
    4775  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add bob REPORT_DELETE 
    4876}}} 
    4977 
    50 === Permission groups === 
     78The `permission add` command also accepts multiple privilege names: 
     79{{{ 
     80  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add bob REPORT_DELETE WIKI_CREATE 
     81}}} 
    5182 
    52 Permissions can be grouped together to form roles such as 
    53 ''developer'', ''admin'', etc. 
     83== Permission Groups == 
    5484 
     85Permissions can be grouped together to form roles such as ''developer'', ''admin'', etc. 
    5586{{{ 
    5687  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add developer WIKI_ADMIN 
    … …  
    6192}}} 
    6293 
    63 === Default permissions === 
     94Group membership can be checked by doing a {{{permission list}}} with no further arguments; the resulting output will include group memberships. Use lowercase for group names, as uppercase is reserved for permissions. 
    6495 
    65 Granting privileges to the special user ''anonymous'' can be used to control 
    66 what an anonymous user can do before they have logged in. 
     96== Removing Permissions == 
     97 
     98Permissions can be removed using the 'remove' command. For example: 
     99 
     100This command will prevent the user ''bob'' from deleting reports: 
     101{{{ 
     102  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove bob REPORT_DELETE 
     103}}} 
     104 
     105Just like `permission add`, this command accepts multiple privilege names. 
     106 
     107You can also remove all privileges for a specific user: 
     108{{{ 
     109  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove bob * 
     110}}} 
     111 
     112Or one privilege for all users: 
     113{{{ 
     114  $ trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove * REPORT_ADMIN 
     115}}} 
     116 
     117== Default Permissions == 
     118 
     119Granting privileges to the special user ''anonymous'' can be used to control what an anonymous user can do before they have logged in. 
    67120 
    68121In the same way, privileges granted to the special user ''authenticated'' will apply to any authenticated (logged in) user.
