    88In addition to the default permission policy described in this page, it is possible to activate additional permission policies by enabling plugins and listing them in [TracIni#trac-permission_policies-option "[trac] permission_policies"]. See TracFineGrainedPermissions for more details.

    10 Non-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 privilege for will not be displayed in the navigation.
     10Non-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 privileges for will not be displayed in the navigation bar.
    1111In 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//.

    1313== Graphical Admin Tab
    1414
    15 To access this tab, a user must have one of the following permissions: `TRAC_ADMIN`, `PERMISSION_ADMIN`, `PERMISSION_GRANT`, `PERMISSION_REVOKE`. The permissions can be granted using the `trac-admin` command (more on `trac-admin` below):

This menu will allow you to perform all the following actions, but from the browser rather than requiring root access to the server. '''Use at least one lowercase character in user names, as all-uppercase names are reserved for permissions.'''

    3030== Available Privileges
    3131
    32 To 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 to perform any operation.

    34 Otherwise, individual privileges can be assigned to users for the various different functional areas of Trac ('''note that the privilege names are case-sensitive'''):

    9797== Attachment Permissions
    9898
    99 Attachment permissions are handled by `LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, and unlike the permissions discussed so far, the permissions provided by `LegacyAttachmentPolicy` are not directly granted. Rather, the ability to create, view and delete attachments is determined by the attachment's parent realm and permissions the user possesses for that realm.

    101 The attachment actions are determined by the following
    102 permissions in the ticket, wiki and milestone realms:

    110 If explicit attachment permissions are preferred, `ATTACHMENT_CREATE`, `ATTACHMENT_DELETE` and `ATTACHMENT_VIEW` can be created using the [trac:ExtraPermissionsProvider]. The simplest implementation is to simply define the actions.
     109An authenticated user can delete an attachment //they added// without possessing the permission that grants `ATTACHMENT_DELETE`.

    122 The explicit permissions can be used in concert with `LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, or `LegacyAttachmentPolicy` can be removed from `permission_policies`, in which case only users that have been explicitly granted the corresponding attachment actions will be able to create, delete and view attachments.
     123The explicit permissions can be used in conjunction with `LegacyAttachmentPolicy`, or `LegacyAttachmentPolicy` can be removed from `permission_policies`, in which case only users that have been explicitly granted the corresponding attachment actions will be able to create, delete and view attachments.

    151152The //authenticated// group inherits permissions from the //anonymous// group.
    152 For example, if the //anonymous// group has permission WIKI_MODIFY,
    153 it is not necessary to add the WIKI_MODIFY permission to the //authenticated// group as well.

    171 The following will add ''bob'' to the new group called ''beta_testers'' and then will assign WIKI_ADMIN permissions to that group. (Thus, ''bob'' will inherit the WIKI_ADMIN permission)
     172The following will add ''bob'' to the new group called ''beta_testers'' and then will assign `WIKI_ADMIN` permissions to that group. Thus, ''bob'' will inherit the `WIKI_ADMIN` permission.

    203204
    204 By default on a new Trac installation, the //anonymous// user will have ''view'' access to everything in Trac, but will not be able to create or modify anything.
    205 On the other hand, the //authenticated// users will have the permissions to ''create and modify tickets and wiki pages''.
     205By default on a new Trac installation, the //anonymous// user has ''view'' access to everything in Trac, but is not able to create or modify anything.
