Hi,

please ask you questions directly to the SmallWiki-Mailing list, so

Permissions are dynamically calculated for the user currently logged 
while looking up the structure. Permissions depend on the context: the 
currently browsed structure, the user currently logged in and the roles 
that have been assigned to the user.

Currently there is no code to determine the permission for a given user 
anywhere in the wiki, because this functionality was not needed. 
Actually it could be implemented easily by simulating the call to 
#processSecurity: for all the parents of the structure in question.

Cheers,
Lukas
