I would guess that this is probably because you're not binding as the Directory Manager, but rather the admin user, who doesn't have permission to see the effective rights of other entries. Now I have a question, is it possible to allow FDS to show the effective rights of any entry in the server for any user (read access to the entry permitting)? The documentation here: http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Get_Effective_Rights_Design#.22G.22_Permission suggests not. Are there plans for this to change? I ask as I am writing an application for editing entries in FDS, and would like to customise the display to only show those actions on an entry that the user can actually make. I do not want to store the authentication credentials of the Directory Manager within the application.
