I'm recommending making these "groups" of rights be both a UI concept and a storage concept, very similar to the existing group feature, rather than storing right grants and somehow bidirectionally mapping them to group grants in the UI layer. That way, future code changes 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...
