Description
What if any effect ought SELECT_PORTLET_TYPE permission to have on MANAGE permission over portlets of types that a user doesn't have SELECT_PORTLET_TYPE permission on?
Needs considered, documented, and clarified. Probably lack of SELECT_PORTLET_TYPE ought to veto the permission a user might otherwise enjoy to MANAGE a portlet. Adopters will be confused by this permission, might has well have the confusion fail closed rather than failing open, with lack of SELECT_PORTLET_TYPE having the probably intended effect of, well, preventing users from changing publications with that portlet type.
