As a bit of background on permissions in 6.2. There are two new security concepts in place: type permissions and webtop permissions.
# type permissions All content types now have a base set of permissions that can be managed on a per role basis. Previously developers had to commandeer an existing permission set or create a new set to apply base type permissions. These are now managed much more elegantly by the framework. The 6.2 upgrader essentially ports previous permissions to the new system. As a precaution these permissions are not deleted but flagged for review/deletion. # webtop permissions All elements in the webtop can now have security assigned on a per role basis; including tabs, sub sections, menu items. Previously developers had to specifically code a permission in the webtop XML and have a corresponding permission object in the permissions table, assigned to the relevant role.... Clumsy. 6.2 magic.... Awesome sauce. The 6.2 upgrader ports all XML permissions into the new data model, and then subsequently ignores permission settings nominated in the XML from that point onwards.
