New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
- [ X] I am not disclosing a vulnerability.
- [ X] I am not just asking a question.
- [ X] I have searched through existing issues.
Current Limitation
The PermissionsDialog current only shows the objectId and/or name of users and roles.
To quickly see user or role details a manual lookup in the respective classes is needed.
Selection and copy/paste of the objectId role name does not seem to be possible.
And even if it would, it would still be manual overhead for the simple task of traversing roles.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Make user and roles in the PermissionsDialog clickable and show the object in the browser.
Ideally this would happen in a 2nd browser window (tab) so the PermissionsDialog remains open for the selected class/object.
Even better would be a dedicated UI to traverse the ACL tree (role -> users/subroles) within the PermissionsDialog or some new dialog. This is however outside the scope of this feature request.
Example Use Case
- create a few roles with multiple users and subroles
- add multiple users and subroles to each subrole
- select any class/object and add the top level roles to the ACL
- while inspecting the ACL, click on any user or role to browse that item in a new window
Alternatives / Workarounds
none (manual copy/paste doesn't work as text selection is disabled)
it's effectively not possible to quickly traverse an ACL

Not investigated as this is relative basic/simple request.
