Feature: #103187 - Introduce CLI command to create backend user groups

Description

A new CLI command ./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default has been introduced as an alternative to the existing backend module. This command automates the creation of backend user groups, enabling the creation of two pre-configured backend user groups with permission presets applied.

Note

The pre-configured backend user group permissions are subject to be further changed and adjusted and defines a first set. It is also possible that additional groups may be added or made configurable. That means, that the ./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default command and the pre-defined permissions are considerable experimental during the TYPO3 v13 development cycle.

Impact

You can now use ./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default to create pre-configured backend user groups without touching the GUI.

Example

Interactive / guided setup (questions/answers):

Basic command

./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default

The backend user group can be set via the --groups|-g option. Allowed values for groups are Both, Editor and Advanced Editor:

Command examples

./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default --groups Both
./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default --groups Editor
./bin/typo3 setup:begroups:default --groups "Advanced Editor"

When using the --no-interaction option, this defaults to Both.

Note

At the moment, the command does not support the creation of backend user groups with custom names or permissions (they can be modified later through the backend module). It is limited to creating two pre-configured backend user groups with permission presets applied.
