ACP / ACL UI Clarity

Hi,

If I set the following access rights on 'default server':

* members (grant read)


As expected, for 'default domain' I have the following inherited rights:

* members (grant read)


I then set the following local rights on 'default domain':

* members (deny read)


On Workspaces I then have the following inherited rights:

* members (grant read) (deny read)


Now (as expected) the policy on Workspaces works correctly in that the
local rights on 'default domain' (members deny read) take precedence
over the 'default server' (members grant read).

But would the UI be better to only display (members deny read) to make
it clearer to end-users?

Regards,

Sean

Yes probably... But this UI is quite complex to design actually, it  
has to be clear enough while at the same time presenting enough  
information. If you have a patch for that please create a JIRA ticket,  
and we'll look at integrating it.
