Jenkins 1.580.3. Matrix auth 1.2. LDAP auth. Lots of plugins and users.
Root problem:
Global permission matrix too wide to show leftmost username when using right most toggle permissions or delete user buttons.
This applies for a large number of usernames and plugins that require permissions.
Example usecases:
- It is too easy (relative to the consequences) to accidentally toggle all permissions for "Anonymous" when creating a new user, as both are normally sorted last. This would be really bad for an internet exposed Jenkins installation.
- It is too easy to accidentally delete the wrong user (red X rightmost).
Suggested improvements:
- tr.permission-row:hover { background: #999999; }
- Some sort of unobtrusive popup display of username and permission name affected when hovering over checkbox, delete or "toggle permissions" in matrix.
- Name column duplicated to the right.
- Remove toggle permissions for the "Anonymous" user. Or at least popup a confirmation box just for "Anonymous".

[JENKINS-26824] Easy to accidentally modify wrong user using many plugins and many users
accidentally toggle all permissions for "Anonymous" when creating a new user, as both are normally sorted last.
Improved in https://github.com/jenkinsci/matrix-auth-plugin/pull/29: authenticated and anonymous are now always the first two entries, so new users are elsewhere
too easy to accidentally delete the wrong user (red X rightmost).
Resolved with tool tip indicating what user, and what action/permission in https://github.com/jenkinsci/matrix-auth-plugin/pull/30
