Overview

This module provides a user interface for managing permissions within the Alliance Auth application. It allows to assign and revoke permissions for groups, and states.

For EVE Online alliances, the number of people in a group or state can grow quite large, which can lead to performance issues when trying to manage permissions through the admin backend. This module provides a more efficient way to manage permissions for large groups and states in the Alliance Auth frontend.

[!WARNING]

This module provides a user interface for managing permissions, which is an administrative task. \ Please ensure to only grant access to this module to trusted users!
