In the new UI,

is confusing.

If I choose that option, then which settings are effective?

Both. If the user satisfies the current settings, then he/she is allowed to proceed. If not, the parent settings will be checked.

FWIW I preferred the colour-coded table that Nabble used until recently. That made more sense.

We added more possibilities to this configuration and the old table would make the screen too big and more confusing. We will work on this screen to make it more intuitive and better guide the users.
