Details

Grant groups are used on some user interfaces to display conceptually similar grants together.

This configuration value should usually be set by extensions, not site administrators.

New grant groups can simply be created by using a new group name. The user-visible name of a grant group can be defined via the grant-group-<name> message.

Default value

≥ 1.36
