Base module and submodules.

The name, SCAR, could stand for System Control &/by Access Rules, or as an acronym for System Access Control Rules, or... actually, after having spent over 4 days cooking my brains, searching for a good module name that would reflect what the module does, and seen that every good candidate name was already taken:

AR for Access Rules taken as AR for Arabian;
ACK for Access Control Kit (drupal 7);
ACL for Access Control Lists;
and so on...

I was just too tired to keep looking. So, this is it.

After reading that, you probably have a notion of what it is for. The idea was to be able to administer (grant/deny) access across the whole system, but in a more private and flexible way than usual.

So, this module is intended to define/identify administrator/s, who will have an extra category (besides typical roles), and will be able to login as SCAR admins. Then, the idea is to write more specific sub modules (6 so far) in order to administer (grant/deny) more specific access by defining according specific access rules.
