Configurable default permissions

Currently, privileges for new projects are set to deny all kinds of access for all users.

We propose to make the defaults configurable. An example of such a configuration could look like this:

{
    "default": {
        "VIEW_PROJECT": 1,
    },
    "users": {
        "admin": {
            "VIEW_PROJECT": 1,
            "DRUG_TARGETING_ADVANCED_VIEW_PROJECT": 1,
            "EDIT_COMMENTS_PROJECT": 1,
            "EDIT_MISSING_CONNECTIONS_PROJECT": 1,
            "LAYOUT_MANAGEMENT": 1
        },
        "anonymous": {
            "VIEW_PROJECT": 0,
        }
    }
}

Here, any privilege not explicitly given in default should be set to 0. Any privilege listed explicitly for a user in users should override settings in default. The above configuration would lead to the following privileges for a new map:

• full privileges for the admin user
• no privileges for the anonymous user
• only VIEW_PROJECT privilege for all other users.
