Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        Have you ever feel the need to give to normal (AKA non-manager) Plone member the power to manage a group?
        
        Right now in Plone you can make this possible playin with the **Manage users** and **Manage Groups**
        permissions of the portal (also for Plone 2.5).
        
        Even playing with those permissions is impossible is to limit the group on which a member (or group of members)
        can manage.
        
        This products make something very dangerous: with a minimal configuration, a member of the Plone portal
        (or all members in a group) will be able to manage the users of a group overriding the basic portal security.
        You only need to go to the *portal_properties* tool of you portal and modifiy the new
        **simple_groups_management_properties**.
        
        In the *sgm_data* section you need to inser a set of strings like
        
        ::
        
        id1|group_id1
        id2|group_id2
        ...
        
        where *id1*, *id2* can be user or group ids. This mean that the member (or group) id1 will be able to act on the
        group_id1 members.
        
        You can also insert a list of groups ids that will be never handled by this product in the
        **sgm_never_managed_groups** section.
        
        The utility also react to the **Add portal members** permission. If the current user has this permission
        you will be able to add new portal members (so no security break for this).
        
        Be aware!
        ---------
        
        This products override all normal Plone permissions noted above!
        This can create **security black-holes** in your portal!

        TODO
        ----
        
        * By now the management form is well integrated with Plone 2.5 UI and more ugly on Plone3+.
        In future: drop Plone 2.5 support, or change this to be more pretty on Plone 3.
        * Don't force the Manager to go in ZMI, but handle configuration from Plone UI.
        * Some portalMessage doesn't work correctly.
