There's a whole family of related uses - toggling one box or another in
the matrix, so availability of some privilege to some role is changed.  I
don't think there's anything mysterious about it.  (What's interesting is
the way that workflow hinges on toggling these permissions,
programmatically, to systematically "move" an object through the workflow
states.  The way DC workflow achieves its effect, though the imposition of
sets of permission mappings for different workflow states, really nicely
conveys application of the security system.  It's very enlightening...)
