When you try to give a script proxy roles that you don't have you get the following error message:

You are not authorized to change myTest because you do not have proxy roles.

An internet search shows the confusion this message has caused, and, fortunately, also a clarification.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=es&q=%22You+are+not+authorized+to+change%22+%22because+you+do+not+have+proxy+roles.%22

http://www.dzug.org/mailinglisten/zope-org-zope/archive/2003/2003-01/1043681245605

the message should probably read:
"You are not authorized to give that role to %s because you do not have that role yourself."
