The access manager in the base can do restrictions on modules, but not on
individual features within modules. Maybe we don't need that level of detail.
If we do, the access manager could be improved to store privileges for all
kinds of features, mapped to a name.
It could use features in authlib to have a mode, group list and flag list. The
mode should default to "either" (group or flag).
In addition to just pure lists of groups and flags it should allow a callback
for additional tests handled by the module itself.
The advantage with this kind of access manager is that general authorization
code will be centralized (groups and flags). The disadvantage is that modules
will depend on the access manager.
Where these settings should be stored needs to be figured out. Use a central
config file for access, or let each module have permission lists in their own
configs?
Also, how should they be stored? A simple solution is to use pure console
commands that set them, so configs would have commands like this:
zr_access_set_groups <feature identifier> <group list>
