Description

The field DB mounts in users/groups is used to grant access to pages and page trees.

Thus the field should actually be named Page mounts / Web mounts or similar to actually tell what this is about. The term "DB" does not make sense for any user.

I also think the name is missleading. The db mounts can however also be used for sysfolders, not just for pages to be displayed in the frontend. So maybe "page tree mounts"?

What do you mean exactly? By default said field only allows "pages", any 3rd party customizations are up to the implementer

So maybe "page tree mounts"?

That's why I also mentioned web mounts. ;-)

I think we should
a) come up with proper names / proposals
b) create a list of places where the names are used (Labels, TSconfig options etc).

As for a)

I know that we have
  • Web mounts / DB mounts
  • File mounts

And now we also have "category mounts" btw, which was added some time in 4.x.

So, I think "Page mounts" is a good naming, however "mounts" intself can be confusing with "Mount points" in terms of naming. I'm open to anything,
