The ACL system twists my mind.

The 'deny' permission isn't the default. The default is that if no
permissions are granted, they are not allowed by that group, but
another group to which you belong may have one or more of those
permissions. You are granted the highest level of permissions that
exists within each group to which you belong. For example, group
'fraggle' has permissions to create and edit posts of type 'page'.
Group 'editors' has permission to delete posts of type 'page'. Roy
belongs to both groups, so he has permissions to create, edit, and
delete posts of type 'page'.

Say Roy also belongs to type 'nope', which has the permission 'deny'
on posts of type 'page'. As I understand it, the deny overrides all
the other permissions, so Roy, due to his membership in 'nope', isn't
able to access posts of type 'page' after all.

It can be difficult to get one's head around.

I hope this helps with this part, at least.
