Viewing Groups/Whitelists/Blacklists for ACL Plugin

[vcastane]

It seems the right now there is no way to get a list of the groups you have created and their associated permissions. Or get a list of all consumers within each group.

These would be incredibly useful tools for me and other developers.

Same goes for whitelist/blacklist and way to see global ACL information.

Thanks!

This may also be related to #505 and would be fixed by this proposal.

Awesome! This is exactly what I was thinking.

Is there a working timeline for this?

Another solution would be to extend the ACL plugin to support groups in a better way, as opposed to #505 which implements them in core. But implementing them on core would allow us to fix the structural inconsistency where you can have API-specific plugins, but not API-specific consumers.

Feel free to join the conversation. We didn't make any definitive decision yet, so the implementation will start once we all agree.
