Goals

The goal is to do the following:

1) Make it easy for an admin to see what privileges are needed to perform a sequence of actions.
2) Improve the page a user sees when they fail a privilege check.
3) Improve documentation on how to use privileges/roles and avoid pitfalls.
4) Add ability to define which privileges can view or edit forms and encounter types.
