    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.

    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//.

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. This permission is like being `root` on a *NIX system: it will allow you to perform any operation.

    3434Otherwise, individual privileges can be assigned to users for the different functional areas of Trac and '''note that the privilege names are uppercase''':
     
    4545|| `TICKET_VIEW` || View existing [TracTickets tickets] and perform [TracQuery ticket queries] ||
    4646|| `TICKET_CREATE` || Create new [TracTickets tickets] ||
    47 || `TICKET_APPEND` || Add comments and attachments to [TracTickets tickets], and edit description of ticket the user created ||
     47|| `TICKET_APPEND` || Add comments and attachments to [TracTickets tickets], and edit description of ticket that the user created ||
    4848|| `TICKET_CHGPROP` || Modify [TracTickets ticket] properties (priority, assignment, keywords, etc.) with the following exceptions: edit description of tickets created by others, add/remove other users from cc field when logged in ||
    4949|| `TICKET_MODIFY` || Includes both `TICKET_APPEND` and `TICKET_CHGPROP`, and in addition allows resolving [TracTickets tickets] in the [TracWorkflow default workflow]. Tickets can be assigned to users through a [TracTickets#Assign-toasDrop-DownList drop-down list] when the list of possible owners has been restricted. ||
     
    6262|| `MILESTONE_ADMIN` || All `MILESTONE_*` permissions ||
    6363|| `ROADMAP_VIEW` || View the [TracRoadmap roadmap] page, which is not yet the same as MILESTONE_VIEW, see [trac:#4292 #4292] ||

    9797== Attachment Permissions

    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:

    113 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.

    129 You grant privileges to users using [TracAdmin trac-admin]. The current set of privileges can be listed with the following command:
     127Privileges are granted to users through [TracAdmin trac-admin]. The current set of privileges can be listed with the following command:

    153151Any user who has logged in is also in the //authenticated// group.
    154152The //authenticated// group inherits permissions from the //anonymous// group.
    155 For example, if the //anonymous// group has permission WIKI_MODIFY, it is not necessary to add the WIKI_MODIFY permission to the //authenticated// group as well.
     153For example, if the //anonymous// group has permission `WIKI_MODIFY`, it is not necessary to add the `WIKI_MODIFY` permission to the //authenticated// group as well.

    206 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.
    207 On the other hand, the //authenticated// users will have the permissions to ''create and modify tickets and wiki pages''.
