can split rights (e.g. upload -> upload/reupload), and have all the
OAuth grants be implicitly updated by changing the group map.
Sounds good to me.
Since we would go crazy trying to talk about both the OAuth feature
and the existing user feature as being
"groups", Chris suggested using
the term "permission" to refer to the fundamental unit of an OAuth grant.
But then wouldn't it be confused with permissions? Why not just call it a
"grant"? Though I guess that has it's own issues since OAuth has
authorization grants...
