The implementation of certain local institutional policies implies that one be able to set permisions on certain activities that can't be overiden in any site level permision tool such as site setup or the permision widget in resources. For instance if local policy requires that only users of type x can view official id photos then a permision policy.roster.viewIdPhotos could be implemented in the !user.template.x realm and could not be overidden by any site owner.
see and which are implementations of this kind of permission
Implementing this as a sakai.property would by nature limit its flexibiliyt, for instance some schools may want to limit an activity by user type while others may wish to do so by role in a site
