Can you set default permissions for a page type when using simple permissions?
Permalink
I have tried setting default permissions for a page type under
Pages & Themes > Page Types > [Page Type] > Permissions
but these don't seem to be reflected when creating a new page of that type.
See this screenshot for how the defaults differ to the actual permissions once created:

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding how these permissions work? Do I need to enable advanced permissions to actually accomplish this?

You can – but they won't do anything, because there's a separate setting at the page level that instructs concrete5 on where to get permissions for all pages added beneath that page. By default, it's set to inherit down the tree. If you enable advanced permissions you can change that setting to inherit from page type permissions – but you have to enable advanced permissions to change that setting.
Oh OK, I see. So the default permissions for a page are "the same as my parent". Perhaps that explains my problem. I'll have to look into how my parent pages are set up.
