[Zope] Local or not local roles?

[Chris McDonough]

Local roles take effect for the object they're defined upon plus any
children of the object they're defined upon.  This happens by virtue of
the user object's 'allowed' and 'getRolesInContext' methods.  If you
need different behavior, you'd need to create a different kind of user
object.
