Detailed Explanation: Groups

Since version 0.5.0 Hashtopussy has groups which allow a more fine-grained access management to tasks and agents. Until then when a user could create tasks and hashlists, all other users were able to see them and all agents were working on tasks (as long as they were not marked secret and the agent not trusted).

Groups allow now that only a specific number of users is able to see a task/hashlist/agent. For example you can have two groups for two departments and they can run all their stuff independently from the others.

Users and agents can be member of multiple groups at once, which allows even more possibilities in grouping, depending on the need. When Hashtopussy is installed, there is a default group which will be used to assign new users and agents to. Admin users then can also add agents and users to the according group.

When a user now creates a new hashlist, he can select to which of his groups (only the ones he is member of) they should be member of. All tasks which work on this hashlist will then only be visible to agents which are also member of this group and therefore the task will only be distributed to agents which are member of the group.
