[pmwiki-users] Password Confusion

Am I just not getting something?  I was under the impression that the  
default passwords had a hierarchy effect.  I thought, they worked in  
the following order...

	READ: Visitors can read content
	EDIT: Visitors can read and edit content
	UPLOAD: Visitors can read, edit, and upload content
	ATTR: Visitors can read, edit, upload, and change attributes
	ADMIN: The equivalent of a "PmGod" ... can do anything

Is this not the case?

For this reason, I had the following passwords

	READ: password01
	EDIT: password02
	UPLOAD: password02
	ATTR: password03
	ADMIN: password03

Unfortunately, this had problems:

	1. Visitors logging in with "password01" could read and edit  
pages... not good; and,

	2. Visitors could not log in with "password02" at all (regardless of  
how many times I reset it).

What am I missing?  I would like to have the following...

	A. Visitors logging in with "password01" should be able to read the  
site but not edit or alter anything;

	B. Visitors logging in with "password02" should be able to read,  
edit, and upload; and,

	C. Visitors logging in with "password03" should be able to do  
anything with the site.

Is this possible?  If so, how do I accomplish this?

Thanx,
Ryan
