    MDL-67748 admin: Improve get_missing_capabilities_by_users() · c07f15d7
    David Mudrák authored
    The previous implementation falsely reported all implicit capabilities
    inherited from the authenticated user archetype. That caused a lot of
    capabilities reported as missing, even if they were correctly granted.
    
    This new implementation uses a different logic. Instead of seeking for
    explicitly assigned capabilities, it searches for capabilities that are
    not assigned to any of the user's role across the system.
    
    Please refer to the inline documentation. This should be still used for
    informative reports only, not for actual permissions evaluation. The
    context has been ignored here, as well as all the overrides etc. This
    patch just makes it a lesser evil.
