Permissions UI issues
---------------------

                 Key: REGISTRY-198
                 URL: http://wso2.org/jira/browse/REGISTRY-198
             Project: WSO2 Registry
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Glen Daniels
         Assigned To: Chathura Ekanayake
            Priority: Blocker


The permissions UI on the resource page is confusing.

You can't both allow and deny the same action for the same user/role, so the allow/deny checkboxes shouldn't be checkable at the same time.  We should at least fix this.

The UI could be improved as well - I think it would be easier and clearer to do it more like the Windows permissions dialog (I'll include a screenshot).  There could be a list box of users/roles for which permissions are defined (you differentiate users and roles with an icon, or with color), then when you select one of those, you see allow/deny checkboxes for each of the active permissions.  To add permissions, you just add the user or role to the list of principals, then select permissions and click "apply".

This would make the UI a lot more compact, and I think clearer.
