So I was searching today for exactly what every permission setting impacts so that I could fine tune the permissions for a new role I wanted to create and I couldn't find anything that describes this. I searched the old guides and the new guides and all I could find was What do the different icons on the permissions page mean?, How do I set permissions for a sub-account-level admin?, How do I set permissions for an account-level role?, etc. Nothing that actually went permission by permission and detailed all the things that particular permission controls. Does anyone know if this information is available somewhere?
Ok, I see this issue is already being discussed as of yesterday over here: Hidden Canvas Permissions. I have unmarked this as a question and you should head over to that discussion to continue the conversation but I will leave this item here in case it helps people find the other discussion. If any moderator sees fit feel free to delete this.
