Permissions: List roles in order of power of permissions #3040

Closed bencomp closed 7 years ago

bencomp commented 8 years ago

When assigning roles to users or groups, the list of available roles is currently ordered alphabetically:

Our users indicated that it would make more sense to order them by the power that their permissions have, i.e. Admin first (or last), then Curator, then Dataverse + Dataset Creator, ..., File Downloader last (or first). (I find it hard to come up with the best order, as the roles have different permissions, not just more or fewer.)

Newly defined roles (see also #2454) should blend in based on their permissions.

It appears from DataverseRole that roles can currently only be sorted by name (and subsorted by the ID of the dataverse in which they were defined).

I guess you could try sorting by permissionbits since more bits means more power: http://phoenix.dataverse.org/schemaspy/latest/tables/dataverserole.html
