In hook_perm() you can now return an array like that (example taken from node.module): <?php function node_perm() {   return array(     'administer nodes' => 'Allows editing and deleting of all nodes',     'access content' => 'Allows to view content'   ); } ?> You can also freely mix "described" permissions with old/regular ones; i.e. it does not break the current permission system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 19 Sep 2005 00:57:49 +0000 : Uwe Hermann Patch doesn't apply anymore.
