Right. I'm saying I don't like that approach. I think that permissions
should automatically inherit from their parents, in a completely
straightforward way: everything inherits. It's easy to understand that as
long as it's consistent. But even with making admins select a toggle, people
can forget they set it up that way... I think it's not going to be obvious
what's going on.
