A "bitmask" is a fixed-length number whose value can describe one, and - only one, set of states. For instance, UNIX file permissions are assigned bitmask - values: "execute" has a value of 1, "write" has a value of 2, - and "read" has a value of 4. Add them together, - and a file can be read, written to, and executed if it has a bitmask of "7". (This - is a simplified example -- anybody who knows UNIX security knows there is much - more to it than this. Please bear with me for the purpose of this note.)

Several are already occupied - by built-in permissions. The way around this limitation is - to avoid assigning groups to products if you have many products, avoid bloating - of group lists, and religiously prune irrelevant groups. In reality, most installations - of Bugzilla support far fewer than 64 groups, so this limitation has not hit - for most sites, but it is on the table to be revised for Bugzilla 3.0 - because it interferes with the security schemes of some administrators. - </PARA> - </NOTE> - <PARA> + <example> + <title>When to Use Group Security</title> + <informalexample> + <para> + Many Bugzilla sites isolate "Security-related" bugs from + all other bugs.
