Let's take a look at this case: You have a menu item which will only be shown if the user has certain permissions. Of course, it makes sense that the page that belongs to that menu item is also just shown if the user has those permissions.

The problem is currently, that the way the permissions are checked are different:

* To let a menu item be displayed, it's sufficient to have at least one permissions.
* To visit a page, you've got to have all the permissions.

Is this really intended?
