Description of problem:
Adding users to the site wide administrators group doesn't appear to alter what
the user can access. Looking in the DB, there only appears to be two entries in
acs_permissions against object zero:

  'Administrator Account' 

and 

  'ACS System Party'

I would have expected an entry for 'Site Wide Administrators'. Incidently what
is 'ACS System Party' ?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new user
2. Add them to 'Site Wide Administrators' group
3. Log in as the new user
4. Go to '/admin'



Actual Results:  Access denied exception is thrown

Expected Results:  The administration  tools are displayed

Kernel.java#getSystemParty()
