Looks reasonable, although the fact that layers within secured tree
groups would be secured under WMS but not under other protocols is
unintuitive.  I see why it is that way but we should be careful to avoid
anything that leads users to think they have secured something that they
have not.  The UI for managing layer group security should probably
include a clear notice of this behaviour and I think it should be
mentioned anywhere setting security that could apply to layer groups
comes up in the docs.
