You should ask Plone related questions on the Plone mailing list.

The magic you see is the effect of an "AccessRule" -- installed
by Plone.
I hate this kind of magic and my first activity has been to
get rid of it. AccessRules can be disabled by an envvar.
Then, you can access the Zope Root Folder. You can then see the AccessRule
and delete it.

I forgot the name of the envvar. Looks at the code.
