| 03:56 | Grepped the Fossil source code for C code that checks for Setup caps exclusively to preotect functions and listed those in the Reference section of capablities.md. Also expanded the coverage of the "caps affect Fossil web interfaces only" section, which plays into this. (check-in: 689f7683 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc) | |

Mnemonic: a**l**low.
* <a name="m"></a>**m (ApndWiki)** — Append content to existing wiki articles.
Mmnemonics: a**m**end or **m**odify.
* <a name="n"></a>**n (NewTkt)** — File new tickets. Mnemonic: **n**ew ticket.
* <a name="o"></a>**o (Read)** — Check data out from Fossil. This capability
has nothing to do with the ability to “open” a local repo clone or
switch branches in that clone. It only controls whether similar
operations over HTTP to a remote repo are allowed. You must have
this capability to view [embedded documentation][edoc], for example,
since that basically amounts to opening a file in the remote repo.
This capability also controls the [`/artifact`][au], [`/file`][fu],
and [`/raw`][ru] URLs. Mnemonic: check **o**ut file.
* <a name="p"></a>**p (Password)** — Change one’s own password. Mnemonic:
**p**assword.
* <a name="q"></a>**q (ModTkt)** — Moderate tickets: comments appended to
tickets can be deleted by users with this capability. Mnemonic:
**q**uash noise commentary.
................................................................................
* <a name="D"></a>**D (Debug)** — Enable debugging features. Mnemonic:
**d**ebug.

Mnemonic: a**l**low.
* <a name="m"></a>**m (ApndWiki)** — Append content to existing wiki articles.
Mmnemonics: a**m**end or **m**odify.
* <a name="n"></a>**n (NewTkt)** — File new tickets. Mnemonic: **n**ew ticket.
* <a name="o"></a>**o (Read)** — Read repository content from a remote
Fossil instance over HTTP. This capability has nothing to do with
reading data from a local repository, because [caps affect Fossil’s
web interfaces only](#fssync). Once you’ve cloned a remote
repository to your local machine, you can do any reading you want on
that repository irrespective of whether your user has **o**
capability; the repo clone is completely under your user’s power at
that point, affectted only by OS file permissions and such. (To
prevent cloning, see [**g**](#g).)
It is common to withhold this capability from low-status visitors to
prevent them from viewing [embedded documentation][edoc], seeing
[the file browser][du], and pulling file content via the
[`/artifact`][au], [`/file`][fu], and [`/raw`][ru] URLs.
Mnemonic: check **o**ut remote repo contents.
* <a name="p"></a>**p (Password)** — Change one’s own password. Mnemonic:
**p**assword.
* <a name="q"></a>**q (ModTkt)** — Moderate tickets: comments appended to
tickets can be deleted by users with this capability. Mnemonic:
**q**uash noise commentary.
................................................................................
* <a name="D"></a>**D (Debug)** — Enable debugging features. Mnemonic:
**d**ebug.
