On the new versions, mention the new ACL created

Hi,

When a new version brings a new ACL (eg, the merge right), it isn't assigned to any user (that's good).

However, the admin should check for each new right to which group(s) they want to assign it. Unfortunately, what these are and what they do aren't described in a doc.

Suggestion:

On the upgrade blog post, add a "sysadmin" corner: new access right introduced, what menu entry or button will be hidden without the right.

might be good to add this to the upgrade messages. Wanna do this for the two new access rights in 3.2 xavier? if so please create a patch and attach to the issue :)

drupal 7 improves this since you can have a description along with the permission name

Sure,

What's the way to grep new ACLs ? So far, like anyone else, don't know it's been added until one of my users asks why XYZ isn't there anymore (or not working)

in 3.2, the new permissions were:

                      'administer Tagsets'                => ts( 'administer Tagsets' ),
                      'administer reserved tags'          => ts( 'administer reserved tags' ),
                      'administer dedupe rules'           => ts( 'administer dedupe rules' ),
                      'merge duplicate contacts'          => ts( 'merge duplicate contacts' )

the easiest way to find out new permissions is to check: CRM/Core/Permission.php, function basicPermissions

there are also permissions in components and u'll need to follow the info files there
