[Building Sakai] Disallowing permissions for certain roles

[Branden Visser]

If you want to check the scope of potential disasters, I've attached a

problems until we have a better solution.

Hope that helps,
Branden

There is always one person who's adventurous enough to check that box without understanding the consequences.
