Hey,
In a nearby user complaint email [1] some missing information regarding ownership reassignment came to light. I took that and went a bit further to add what I felt was further missing information and context for how the privilege system is designed. I've tried to formalize and label existing concepts a bit and updated the glossary accordingly.
The attached is a partial rewrite of the patch on the linked post after those comments were taken into consideration.
The new glossary entry for privileges defines various qualifications of the term that are used in the new prose. I've marked up each of the variants and point them all back to the main entry. I didn't try to incorporate those terms, or even really look, anywhere else in the documentation. If the general idea is accepted that kind of work can be done as a follow-up.
