[DG: User / Using Sakai] Permissions and !site.user

[Daniel Merino]

Hi all. We have a doubt about permissions.

We have created the roles !user.template.registered and 
!user.template.guest, so we can differ between official users and 
external users. We though that these permissions affect only to the "My 
Workspace" site of every user, because every course or project has their 
own roles maintain and access, regardless of the user type.

However, when the users log in, the My Workspace site inherits the realm 
!site.user, and this realm has the maintain and access roles, so the 
global user type permissions (guest or registered) are crashing against 
the My Workspace permissions (access or maintain). And we don't know how 
the permissions work in this situation.

In the sakai_permissions.doc, there is written only a short description 
of the !user.site realm. Does anybody know where could we learn more 
about the permissions behaviour when there are crashes between roles?

Thanks in advance.
