Perhaps what might be nice is an arbitrary, user-selected grouping that keeps a mapping of default and user-created categories for permissions, and allows one permission to be mapped to several groups, even in a hierarchy: + Permissions, Sorted by Product/Interface - MyProduct -> View Management Screens [x] -> Access Contents [ ] -> Edit CRM Profile Data [ ] + ObjectManager + etc... + Permissions, Custom Sort + Permissions Used in My Application -> View Management Screens [x] -> Edit CRM Profile Data [ ] + Other permissions etc... I wonder if this is doable with a monkey-patch? Another thought is something like this, with the addition of a permissions-template that is a canned set of selected permissions...

What I'm missig more is flexibility for the "Add object" mechanism. The possibility to install products not globally, but locally for a folder and it's subfolders and some hierachical sorting of "add type" selectbox.

Hi! With OrderedFolder, you can at least clean up the Add menu locally. That might help for a lot of situations. It is not creating tree views yet, but it's a start ...
