[Zope-dev] default roles in ac_permissions

Note: I'm still using Zope 2.2.5, which is why I'm forced to use
__ac_permissions__ and not the new security code in 2.3.x.

In the documentation I've found on how __ac_permissions__ works you are
supposed to be able to set default roles for a permission in a 3rd tuple.
I've tried various things and can never seem to get them to take effect.
The acquired permissions always take precedence.

The only thing I can think of to do is create a method that I can call to
set them using the builtin methods (eg. manage_changePermissions).

Has anyone had any sucess with default roles in the __ac_permissions__? If
so how, if not what did you do to automatically set default roles for a
product?

Thanks in advance for any info.
