Comment 4 for bug 387974

Re-assigning to Chris for more investigation on production, based on Tres's comment:

"""
I just verified manually that the changes to the ACL get propagated to
the 'allowed' index, as long as the changes involve the 'view' permission::

$ bin/debug
...
root['communities']['default'].docid
492927271
x = root['communities']['default'].docid
root.catalog['allowed']._rev_index[x]
OOSet(['group.KarlAdmin', 'group.KarlStaff', \
u'group.community:default:members', \
u'group.community:default:moderators'])

I then visited http://localhost:6543/communities/default/edit_acl.html,
and granted user 'phreddy' the 'view' permission. Back in the debugger::

root._p_jar.sync()
root.catalog['allowed']._rev_index[x]
OOSet(['group.KarlAdmin', 'group.KarlStaff', \
u'group.community:default:members', \
u'group.community:default:moderators', u'phreddy'])

So I don't know what "doesn't seem to be working" means.
