Easy to accidentally modify wrong user using many plugins and many 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".
