Edit title permissions

You need to set permissions on titles BEFORE you start to create or import editions for that title.

Permissions on titles are inherited by all regions that belong to that title and all editions you create for that title.

IMPORTANT: Pay a special attention on denials! If a user belongs to more groups, certain permissions may be denied on the level of another group and if the group has a higher priority of the one you're looking at, you won't see the denial, but it will be effective. Note also that denials may exist on the personal level too.
