In EPP 5, there are many places that need to specify the permission settings for different users, groups and memberships. For example, the admin group setting *:/platform/administrators is referenced by gatein and eXo WCM in many places.
It would be a neater approach if we could use some parameterized setting so that if we need to make a change we just need to modify one place. It's much easier for the user to find/replace the settings.

Here is the proposal. We can define some key/value type properties and add them to the $EPP5_HOME/server/$PROFILE/conf/gatein/configuration.properties file:
   gatein.user.owner=root
   gatein.group.admin=*:/platform/administrators
   gatein.group.user=*:/platform/users
   gatein.group.guest=*:/platform/guests
   gatein.group.webcontributor=*:/platform/web-contributors
   gatein.membership.author=author
   gatein.membership.publisher=publisher
   gatein.membership.manager=manager
   gatein.membership.member=member

 And the various gatein and sitepublisher files would then reference them doing something like this: ${gatein.group.admin}
