[opencms-dev] Some Bugs with Permissions and GUI

[Bernd Wolfsegger]

Hi all,

You have a group editors defined with parentgroup users and role projectuser.
You have defined a user editor1 as part of this new group.
You log in as this user.
You select a resource and edit this ressource.
You left click on the resource again after you finished editing and there is 
the "Publish directly" entry available!
You click. You are asked whether you really want to publish etc.
Eventually there is an exception thrown with the text that this user hase no 
right to publish ... The last is very o.k., because this user had no rights.
But it would be much better if the entry "Publish directly" would not be 
available in the first place.

Same with permission/denial to write. The entry is available, but there is a 
bad exception thrown when clicking the edit entry.

And it seems you can only log in if you the user are member of the group 
"users". Thats not convenient.
I made a new group, which has no parent group, but is defined as 
Projectmanager and Projectuser.
Than I defined a new user as member of this group only.
He can not log in: "Unknown user x"

Well and now, suddenly if I want to log in again as this user editor1, I can 
see only "/sites/default/" and not the other folders below sites and there is 
no select field for the sites!


Additionally it would be good to have some more permission types:
View
Read
Create (new)
Write
Delete (new)
Control
Direct publish
