[dev] Deny permissions

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Jason Rust <jrust at rustyparts.com>:

> Thinking this over some more one idea that just came to mind is to

> _hooks_group_foo() which looks up in some database if the user is part

> would allow permissions to be very powerful, but without adding any
> extra complication to the average user.

The Group class allows for subclasses to be defined - want to submit one
that implements this?
