Adding a new security group

These steps need to be implemented when adding a new "security" group to BMO after the group has been created on BMO:

• Add code to extensions/BMO/lib/Data.pm that accomplish the following:
  • If the group is to be used as the default security group for a product (ie. it will be used when the user checks "Many users could be harmed by this security problem: it should be kept hidden from the public until it is resolved"):
    • Add the group to %product_sec_groups (this establishes the mapping)
    • Add the group to %always_fileable_group (this ensures all users can file bugs into this group)
  • If the requester wanted an automatic CC when a bug is placed into the group, update %group_to_cc_map

• Security groups are rarely granted explicitly into. Normally the groups membership is determined by inheritance from other groups.
