Thanks for the detailed explanation, David. This indeed seems to be a bug and I will have to take a closer look. I will get back to you soon about this.

About your portfolio feature, it is amazing. One possible simplification is to use the ID of the user in the name of the permission (e.g., portfolio42356). Since users cannot change that ID, you wouldn't have to worry about changes to the user name. The name of the permission would be safe. The drawback is that you would have to find the ID of a given user before manually changing his/her permission for some reason (e.g., not an active user anymore, etc.).

So soon we will get back to you with an explanation for the problem you described. If you have new questions, comments or concerns, please let us know. We want as much feedback as you can provide.
