[Ganymede Dev] Permissions model

Hey Jon,
I have a summary of the permissions model....

A user can have multiple admin personae's.
The steps are
1) Create a user.
2) give its ownership to a group(Owner group object).
3) Create admin Personae's associated to that User.
4) Create a new role object and define the functions by modifying
   the access bits and in the end add different admin personae's to 
   this role.
5) Make sure that the new Role has the permission to create and edit 
   the objects owned field in the "Owner" group object.

Now whats happening here is that once have created a user and linked it 
to a personae and set the permissions, and i try to log in as that user 
it gives me two options as to how would i like to work as,...as the 
user or as the personae, when i try to log in(client side) as the 
personae entity it shows me all the objects which the user has 
ownership but when i try to (switch)work as a user it doesnt show me 
anything ...do you know whats happening here??? Can users only work as 
personae's ??
Thanks 
Gaurav
