Currently a set of permissions are assigned to a group and each group is assigned to one or more configurations. However because permissions are set individually per group if I want to modify the permissions for three groups who differ only in relation to the configurations to which they are assigned or create a new group with the same permissions as another group then I have to copy permissions between groups which can be time consuming and error prone.

As an improvement to the above it should be possible to group permissions into sets. e.g.: PermsDev could include all the permission that I want to assign to developers while PermsQA could include all the permissions I want to assign to QA.

If I want three Dev groups that are assigned to different configurations I now simply edit the DevProjA group assign group members and configurations and the PermsDev permission set. I can do the same with DevProjB and DevProjC.

If I want to add or revoke any permissions that are assigned to all devs I simply modify the PermsDev permission set, note I should not need to modify DevProjA, DevProjB or DevProjC they will pick up the changes automatically when the PermsDev is changed.
