[LON-CAPA-users] custom rights and propagation questions

A few of general questions about custom rights files and their application.

Assuming that the first rule remains as
"Deny Default"

1)  The feedback when setting rules says that the propagation of rights can take an hour or so?  This makes it difficult to test the effect of setting some customrights.  Is this still true?

2)  If one selected to "allow" "User"  in a particular domain, but did not specify any specific user(s), does that mean that all users in the domain are allowed, or none?

3)  If a domain coordinator simulates the login of a particular user, does he receive his own rights (dom coord) rights, or the simulated user custom rights for viewing and importing resources as a course coordinator?

4) Do the rights cascade to all courses owned by a user who is "allowed" or do the courses also have to be specified.

I don't seem to locate this info in the manuals but probably it appeared much much earlier on this list.
Maybe worth a review.

Thanks,
Ray
