A project admin asks:

What does the "code Permissions" actually mean?

I assume "Write" is committing to the repository.
But...
...what's the difference between "Admin" and "Configure"?
...what is "Create" for?
...what are "Post", "Moderate" and "Unmoderated_Post" for? (sounds more
like forum stuff)

Would be great to have these permissions clearly documented, as to what exactly they do for each of the standard tools.

    [#1617] is pretty similar to this ticket.

    Looking great

    • Can we document the project-level permissions too? read/admin/create/update
    • "Repo read access." should note that direct (non-web) access to the repo is allowed.
    • Should we remove the "Not used" permissions?
    • Not really this ticket, but the crosshairs cursor on mouseover seems weird. Probably carryover from tools reordering.

    Some of our SF internal tools didn't get documented yet. One example is "view_private_lists"

    • Deferring project-level perm descriptions and other permission cleanup to [#6084]. All the project-level perms except for 'read' appear to require 'admin' as well. Removing 'not used' permissions may require other code cleanup, and I didn't want to open that can of worms in this ticket. Also, we may want to keep some of those permissions after all, depending on what we do in [#6084].
    • Fixed repo 'read' description and cursor on perm cards.
    • Add descriptions for SF-specific apps.
