I like this version, it makes clear what is allowed/denied and why, but it takes a lot of space. What if those rights names would be replaced by big icons and placed side by side? Like this (sorry for ASCII-art):
-------------------+-------------------------------------+--+------ Unregistered users | [+V] [+C] [+R] [-D] [-A] [-P] [-CC] | | [-E]
Big Icons: We are using Silk set for our icons and this is constraining. Also, Rights version 3-4 were made having rights extensibility in mind, for use cases like adding "captchaComment" right, or "annotate" right, or "applicationXusage" right .... so I don't think is very good if applications are gonna have to choose their custom icon to represent their custom right, because is gonna be a mess in the UI. There are few possible icons to choose from (in order to keep the look&feel unitary) and having the developers choose their own icon for the right they extend is gonna break the UI consistency. I think is much easier, extensible and less visual cryptic to textual describe an extensible right. Placed side by side: Version 4 takes a lot of space, yes, but the problem with side by side is that is less readable (harder to scan the rights order). Also it's easier to have a bigger area to select when you want to drag an item. Thanks Alex for your feedback, Caty

Hi,
Changes:
- One additional column is added: "Default / Inherited Rights", by default all rights appear in this column - By using drag'n'drop items are tossed around between "Allow rights", "Deny rights" and "Default / Inherited Rights"
