  Add an entirely new kind of record to IPA that isn't covered by any of the --type options, creating a permission:
-   ipa permission-add  --permissions=add --subtree="cn=*,cn=orange,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com" --desc="Add Orange Entries" add_orange
+   ipa permission-add  --permissions=add --subtree="cn=*,cn=orange,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com" --desc="Add Orange Entries" --prefix=none add_orange

This change exposes the prefix on the command line which means you can
manage ACIs with different prefixes.
Do i misread it?
