[dev] Deny permissions

Not the way things currently are. You could create a group that all users
are a member of, and grant permissions to that group. Or, I could see it
being reasonable to treat guest permissions as an all-or-nothing - i.e.,
don't check any permissions other than explicit guest permissions for guest
users.
