This is very valid point.  Some grouping of permissions, and also
grouping actions is necessary.  For doing this kind of administrative
work, I cannot use emacs or command line commands, to achieve things
faster.  It is very boring to click so many :-(.
So an action that removes or adds permission of a given category
(manager, owner etc.) will be useful at least to begin with.
