[Zope3-dev] Grant permissions to roles seems strange

[Peter Mayne]

I've been playing with permissions, and the web page seems to be acting 
strangely.

I'm using ZopeX3-3.0.0c2.win32. To reproduce (logged on as admin, of 
course):

Create a new Z3 instance.
Browse to [top] -> Grant -> Grant permissions to roles
Set role Everybody, permission View to "-" and save changes.
Restart Z3.
Check Everybody/View: it should be "-".
Set Everybody/View to "+" and save changes.
Restart Z3.
Check Everybody/View: it is still "-" instead of "+".

This seems to happen for all of the Everybody permissions. It means that 
every time I restart Z3, I have to manually change this so anonymous 
users can use my application. The permission holds until I restart.

Other strange things happen as well. For instance, if I set all roles 
for "Use Database Connections" to "+" and restart, they go back to " ".

Do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on, or is there 
something weird here?

Thanks.
