I fixed this for now by adding a method to PermissionService: inheritPermissions(NodeRef parent, NodeRef childe);

The implementation simply sets all permissions on the child that the parent has. By calling this method for the peopleContainer and the newly created person-node, the person then has the permissions already set on the peopleContainer.

I then set the permissions as such:
org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.PermissionService.inheritPermissions=ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR,ACL_METHOD.GROUP_agroup1

So my particular problem is solved, although I still don't know why the inheritance is not automatic.

Hi

Currently admin users are defined in the xml configuration in authority-services-context.xml. This is on the to do list the next time we do work on users/groups/people and add domain.
