IRC conversation for reference

<jconnor> permissions are inherited downward from root (/)
<preethi> http://fpaste.org/QzP7/
<jconnor> so if you can read on /, you can read on anything
<preethi> so why doesn't show admin while / showed admin
<jconnor> so super-users simply get granted create read update delete execute on /
<jconnor> because the listing only grabs the permissions for that particular resource, instead of all the parent resources
<preethi> ok
<jconnor> if you think that's wrong, feel free to file the bug :)
<preethi> i guess its confusing to me  :)
<jconnor> it's not just a question of if it works, but also how well
<preethi> so I am thinking if it only grabs the permission for that resource,  super user has permissions for that as well right? so I would think it should show super user as well
<preethi> jconnor, I will write one up anyway, you can close it if you think its should stay as is
<jconnor> sounds good
<jconnor> I'll probably ask for feedback from others before I close it though
<jconnor> I think we all know my opinion, but it's not the only one :)
