Good point, Daniel. I develop for a bunch of sites with over 100 modules enabled and lot of CCK fields. My permissions page is huge. While a nicer UI for it would be nice, having it die because of Javascript overload would be worse. ..chris On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 7:55 PM, Daniel F. Kudwien <news@unleashedmind.com> wrote:

Whether or not this thingy degrades, I don't really care. I wouldn't mind if it does not.
But I care for whether this actually works on a full-blown Drupal site having 10-15 roles and countless modules exposing permissions (including CCK Field Permissions that adds 3 permissions per fields, f.e. for 125 fields).
A previous attempt on parsing/filtering the permissions page on such a site resulted in a total browser freeze:
#366442: Admin menu: Collapse modules on permissions page [1]
It worked flawlessly on a stock Drupal core install.
This needs to be tested before committing this.
Thanks, Daniel
