This is the first functional test which tests the permissions of a non-administrator user in a group. Some changes had to be made in the form shown in users module for this to work. The id of each checkbox in the "Permissions" section is now predictable based on the name of the group. For example, the id of the checkbox for the group "vpn" is `id_group_vpn`. Changes are also made in `CheckboxSelectMultipleReadOnly` form class for consistency, though it is not being used by this functional test. Some utility functions for functional tests have been moved out of users module to be usable by other app modules for testing group permissions. One additional utility function to skip creating user if it already exists has been added. Not using this function wouldn't break the test but using it saves some time. Changed password format string to use `S` instead of `w` to support special characters in password.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
Getting Started
To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
