In many occasions it is handy for administrators to run scripts directly. So, instead of having to create a custom operation script, then a custom operation, then granting permissions, refreshing the browser and running, there is a menu called Run script, which presents a text box where the script may be typed in or pasted, which can be executed directly. Of course, only the basic bindings are available.

The result of the script can be either a string, which is then displayed as plain text, or an object / map compatible with org.cyclos.model.system.scripts.ScriptResult. So, for example, ro return an HTML text with a title, the script can return [title:"The result title", richText:"<b>Formatted</b> text"]. To show a notification, the the script can return [notification:"Notification text"]. The same prefixes available on notifications for custom operations are availeble on notifications: [INFO], [WARN] and [ERROR].
