Advanced permissions on area not working

Permalink
Hello,
I set advanced permission on an area to allow to add only one certain type of block.
Unfortunately it permissions seem to be completely ignored, I am still able to add every type.
I already checked to set permisions on area, not block and I logged in and out (also restarting server, emptying cache).
Perhaps I misunderstood the permission system and it's not automatically checked?
My expectation had been, that when restricting an area to certain types of blocks, that also only these types would be displayed in the "Add Block" dialog, or at the very least to prohibit adding of restricted types.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

are you doing it on the page default?

if you are the super user then no matter what the permissions you can edit it

that should work exactly as you describe and certainly has for me in the past.

if you are using the admin account (not an account in the administrator group, but user id =1) all of permissions will be ignored.. that may be part of it?

oh, and if you havent clear your site cache... sometimes permission changes mess with that.

That did do the trick, after creating a new user, everything worked out as expected!!
