Security fix default user permissions
Default user permissions should not include all user attributes. We now
limit this to the username, realname and some further attributes
depending on the schema. Note that we no longer include the email
addresses, depending on your installation you may want to further
restrict this or add some attributes like ``address`` and
``alternate_addresses``.

| 26 For security reasons you should change the permissions on the user | |
| 27 class. We previously shipped a configuration that allowed users to see | |
| 28 too many of other users details, including hashed passwords under | |
| 29 certain circumstances. In schema.py in your tracker, replace the line:: | |
| 30 | |
| 31 db.security.addPermissionToRole('User', 'View', 'user') | |
| 32 | |
| 33 with:: | |
| 34 | |
| 35 p = db.security.addPermission(name='View', klass='user', | |
| 36 properties=('id', 'organisation', 'phone', 'realname', | |
| 37 'timezone', 'username')) | |
| 38 db.security.addPermissionToRole('User', p) | |

| 40 Note that this removes visibility of user emails, if you want emails to | |
| 41 be visible you can add 'address' and 'alternate_addresses' to the list | |
| 42 above. | |
