Module permissions questions (regarding page copy module)

[Rob]

I've installed Ryan's page clone module, and it seems to work fine.

However there is one thing confusing me. As far as I can tell, it creates 'page-clone' and 'page-clone-tree' permissions which my superuser role does NOT appear to have ticked in the roles management, and yet I can still copy pages as a superuser.

Is this a bug?

I ask not because it's a problem, but because I am developing more modules myself that tinker with the admin interface and add functionality (watch this space...) but I want to make sure I understand permissions/roles/access properly. I don't want to write code that is insecure or problematic because I don't understand the concepts properly.

Thanks!

superuser user can do anything.

superuser user can do anything.

Thanks.

That seems sensible I suppose, but it just threw me because there is still a page for editing permissions for a superuser role. Perhaps it would be a good idea to change the interface to indicate the fact that individual permission control doesn't apply in that case.
