Double check whether the Area overrides the collection permission

[hissy]

If an Area overrides the master collection permissions, the instances of the Area should overrides each collections.

He wants to check if this is right way to do.

Currently, the page permission somehow ignore Area's Page Type default permission, or manual permission setting but master collection permission.

We had this bug in a site where

• the top page doesn't have the "Sidebar" area
• Child page has "Sidebar" area
• We want to have Page Default permission or manual permission for a certain group and editor won't be able to touch the Sidebar area but Main area.
• But it doesn't work. Noe being able to set the area permission right way. (In this case, the user was able to modify Layout and Design even the setting said it's not supposed to.

Thanks

Yes, that makes sense. I think this type of check is being done at the Area level – but it doesn't look like it's being done when you're at the block level, and going back up the permissions chain. Does that sound right? This is pretty low level but I think you're right here. Does this code seem to fix the issue for you?
