This came up recently in the list.

I think, this is a bug.

I use my DocFinder product 

  URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/DocFinder.html

to analyse the problem:

  while "manage_edit" correctly follows the "Change Database" permission,
  "manage_main" is fixed to "Manager" while it should depend
  on "View Management screens".

I do not yet know, why this is the case. Maybe,
DTMLFile objects define a "__roles__" attribute with
role "Manager".

You may try to call "manage_edit" directly.
