Auth Groups are fabulous for designing access control into a project.
However, success in such design relies heavily on either user memory or
documentation.
In my case it has to be documentation.
To that end I believe the contrib.auth.Group model needs a comment field.
That would let business administrators document what each group or role
might be responsible for and then system admins could assign correct
permissions accordingly.
The change required in contrib.auth.models.py is a new line inserted in the
Group class between "name" and "permissions" as follows ...
comment = models.TextField(_("comment"), default="", blank=True)
I see this as a security improvement because human error in assigning group
permissions can make security holes.
Cheers
Mike
