[MarkLogic Dev General] Xdmp:default-permissions() not working?

[Michael Blakeley]

Geert,

Can you be more explicit about "the user-id option"?

The cq window should tell you what user you're logged in as, in the 
title bar. For example, my copy of cq (svn HEAD) in firefox 3.0.6 says 
"cq - writer at 127.0.0.1:8000", and I get the results I expect from 
xdmp:default-permissions():

<sec:permission xmlns:sec="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security">
   <sec:capability>insert</sec:capability>
   <sec:role-id>18086402793777567391</sec:role-id>
</sec:permission>
<sec:permission xmlns:sec="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security">
   <sec:capability>update</sec:capability>
   <sec:role-id>18086402793777567391</sec:role-id>
</sec:permission>
<sec:permission xmlns:sec="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security">
   <sec:capability>read</sec:capability>
   <sec:role-id>18086402793777567391</sec:role-id>
</sec:permission>
<sec:permission xmlns:sec="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/security">
   <sec:capability>read</sec:capability>
   <sec:role-id>16214968982484730623</sec:role-id>
</sec:permission>

I have added a user to the security database in MarkLogic Server using the Admin interface and the describe feature tells me that this user has default permissions (inherited from a custom defined role). But an empty sequence is returned, when calling the xdmp:default-permissions() as this user. Also, when inserting documents, permissions are not automatically assigned because of this, making the document inaccessible for the user itself.
