Hi Sev,

I agree with Jon that there's something abnormal happening there. These permissions should not be getting reset.

Be aware, because it wasnt in threads you mentioned, that you can import/export per-dataset permissions as an XML file. in production servers we have at times used this as a backup mechanism (they change rarely for us), and it's used in our automated testing to configure dev/test machines. Again, it's worth figuring out why they're being reset and fixing that, but it might be useful to snapshot them anyway to save work if they do.
