           Summary: document authorizer grants access for *any* role
           Product: Lenya
           Version: Trunk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Access Control
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


the document authorizer grants access to a page if a user holds *any* role. this
is wrong. the bug surfaced when a "session" role was added to allow all users
access to login/logout usecases regardless of their other privileges.

the access controller that is invoked for documents needs to check for an
explicit "visit" role. the question is whether other roles such as "admin",
"edit", "review" should imply "visit" rights. i think for clarity it is best not
to have implicit rights but to spell out "visit role for everybody" in the
top-level policy file.
