OSP is no longer supported or even a part of Sakai. Closing all OSP related issues.

A fixed patch in might also fix the issue of !site.helper permissions are displayed but not applied in the Forms tool. Just see some similarity and fix was in entity service in kernel which might also partially fix this one. Not tested though.

Ok, then this is probably unrelated to SAK-6299.

Chris, thanks for taking a look at this. I just checked out the latest (r15441) from the trunk (https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/sakai/trunk), and this behavior as well as that of both continue. Let me know if I can provide more information for you. Thanks again.

Bill's issue () has been resolved. The fix for that might possibly (hopefully) fix this one too.
In the Forms tool, permissions inherited from the !user.template and/or !site.helper realms are being displayed in the permissions editor but not applied.
To duplicate, given a fresh Sakai installation:
login as admin
create a new user "user3"
create a new project site "site3"
add the forms tool
add user3 to site3 in the maintain role
login as user3
open site3
open forms tool
verify "add" and "import" options
open permissions editor
verify permissions: maintain role has "create" permission
login as admin
open realms tool
open site3 realm
verify metaobj.create permission for "maintain" role in site3 realm
uncheck metaobj.create permission for "maintain" role in site3 realm
save realm permissions
open !user.template realm
add "maintain" role
check "metaobj.create" permission for "maintain" role
save realm permissions
login as user3
open site3
open forms tool
verify "add" and "import" are no longer options
open permissions editor
verify "create" permission for "maintain" role has checkmark image, not checkbox
login as admin
open realms tool
open !user.template realm
uncheck metaobj.create permission for "maintain" role
save realm permissions
open !site.helper realm
check "metaobj.create" permission for "maintain" role
save realm permissions
login as user3
open site3
open forms tool
verify "add" and "import" are no longer options
open permissions editor
verify "create" permission for "maintain" role has checkmark image, not checkbox
Note this bug is similar to SAK-6359, but this applies to both the !user.template and the !site.helper realms. Note also that this bug is exacerbated by the behavior described in SAK-6361, in which site permissions can be stripped (and not restored by non-admin users) when an inherited permission exists.
A workaround solution for this is to have an administrator add the required permissions directly to the site realm in the Realms tool.
Finally, note that I'm not sure what the intended behavior of the intersection of these realms and the local site permissions are, but the bug is that the permissions display does not match the actual behavior.
