[opencms-dev] webuser authentication

[Claus Priisholm]

You probably want to remove the read/view privileges rather than denying 
them (which it seems you're doing).
To do so make sure that they are unchecked in the allowed column and 
then mark "overwrite inherited".

Denying a privilege is a much stringer statement than removing a 
privilege - you cannot "allow" a privilege once it has been explicitly 
denied.
