           Summary: AC Auth controls admin area
           Product: Lenya
           Version: Trunk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Access Control
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


One of my testers has found an easy way to escalate rights in Lenya. If someone
has admin rights to a subtree, they can use these rights to gain full access to
the admin tab. This is not desirable as one would grant admin on a subtree so
that the sub-admin can administer rights on that subtree.

To replicate:
Login as lenya
Grant editor group admin to editors under AC Auth from index
Logout
Login as alice
Goto admin tab
Create users
Go back to site
Change to sibling of index/home
Go back to admin, you will now be blocked (so long as you didn't add alice to
admin group, which you easily could have).
