| Issue 907: | Improve the project "Access Rights" screen by collapsing overridden rights. | |

When viewing access rights for a project, some of the rights entries may be rules which are overridden by other rules and thus not really applicable to the current project. There should be an easy way to hide these overridden rules. The simplest way would be to provide a checkbox similar to the "hide inherited rules" checkbox that says "hide overridden rules". A more advanced version of this would group all the overridden rules underneath the rule which overrides them and would make the individual group of overridden rules easily expandable and collapsable as a unit (instead of at the project level) with a twisty triangle on the rule which overrides the group. While the current design of the access rights screen can already cause difficulties in rule comprehension on some sights, it is likely to get much worse if multiple inheritance is ever implemented (as suggested in issue 710) since they will likely be many more cases of conflicting rules which get overridden.
