Bug Description
Instead of checkboxes, we want two way radio buttons with each state defined. The default is marked by [X] Also define "school administration" as it is in the access rights page
Also, having gone through all these, I'm not sure what the most intuitive order of the choices is. Default selection first? More restrictive first? Less?

Actually, this is stupid, remove this choice so it is always viewable by everybody. Although I suppose that might cause some small evolution headaches... either way, just remove the option.

This is a very nice intermediate step! The only concern is that we're introducing a lot of untranslated strings just before release.
Another enhancement to access rights I'd like to see in a reasonably near release - basically change list bullets in the access rights view to checkboxes, for example:
Groups /
Change calendar
[V] School administration [1]
[ ] Group members
[V] Assigned leaders.
Hmm, also there's some concern to keep the strings up-to-date. For example, the option of "Resource calendars are visible to school administration, teachers, and leaders of the resource". We either put the string as it is and manually check those every time permissions are changed in ZCML, or auto-generate it as access rights list does. Auto-generation is trickier to do than you'd think.
