Please don't use the word "roles" on a tab. The semantics of UI functions are very important and use of the word "role" or "roles" is not in keeping with the actual function. "roles" or "roles" is the word used when speaking of an individual not a group. The function is one that is that of setting and configuring "groups" or multiple users in a category. The semantics of the three words user, role and group must be used in thier proper grammatical sense or you will cause confusion in not only the english statements but any subsequent translations. user - refers to the individual role - is a reference word only to be used in place of the word "group" when "group" does not satisfy the grammer used within the sentence or referring statement. This is NOT a global usage word. group - is the global reference word. examples to satisfy the difference. you cannot say "What roles does the user have and how to set thier permissions" without giving the implying singularity. I says that you are talking of a single instance of user when in fact thier may be many. Proper usage would be " What groups does the user belong to and how to set their permissions" This is important as I have been looking over the documentation and have found many case where the documentation is wrong or confusing because of the semantics used in the UI functions. This also can effect the way security is impleted and talked about. "permissions by role" and "group permissions" is entirely correct. But "role permissions" is wrong in most cases and "permissions by group" is just never used at all. Carl McDade Andre Molnar wrote:

I like the idea but it's hard to evaluate without being able to see it in action.
I'll implement it on my demo site and post when its ready - I'll roll a patch if it looks good to you.
