+== Creating New Privileges ==

+To create custom permissions, for example to be used in a custom workflow, enable the optional `tracopt.perm.config_perm_provider.ExtraPermissionsProvider` component in the "Plugins" admin panel, and add the desired permissions to the `[extra-permissions]` section in your [wiki:TracIni#extra-permissions-section trac.ini]. For more information, please refer to the documentation of the component in the admin panel.
