Syntax and naming conventions

## Description

An administrator is the owner, or a user that has been granted the `admin` permission for that specific graph depot or repo.

The administrator uses this command to list the permission assignments for the specified depot of type `graph` or repo.

Certain permissions implicitly include other permissions. If you specify a permission that can be implicit or explicit, such as `write-ref`, the list shows users that have the specified permission, either explicitly or implicitly, such as users with `write-all` and `admin`. See the "permissions" section of p4 grant permission.
