Paragraph permission inheritans

I have a 9.7.5 solution with the new permissions model.

In the cms in the content tree I have set permissions on a folder for specific user groups.

The underlying pages inherit these permissions, as they are supposed to.
Paragraphs ON these pages do NOT inherit these permissions .... WHY NOT!

This is an existing website with hundreds of pages, with on each page numeral paragraphs ...
It can't be true that I have to set permissions for each and every paragaph in the website ...

 

In screens below, to know:

There is a user group regiomanagers with no users in it directly.
It contains many user groups, such as cm-overijssel.
Within such usergroups one or more users reside which have limited access.

In this example the content managers for region overijssel, which reside in usergroup cm-overijssel should be able to modify everything within the content directory Regios > Overijssel, but not any other sister region directory.

For page level this works, but on paragraph level the specific settings for the cm-overijssel user group is not there and therefore the region content manager can access the page, but can't edit existing paragraphs.

 

Is this how it should work? (that would be unmanagable) 
Or is there something wrong with my approach?

Hi Peter

Thanks for the Dutch screendumps wink

The paragraph is a global element - that might have something to do with it. That basically gives you 2 records - one with the content residing on the other page, and one with the link to the content residing on this page. So you might want to check the permissions on the page where the content is actually located...

Yeah, well ...
Not sure if it has to do with my LastPass browser plug-in, but when I log off and select English and then the crdentials get cleared. And when I select the credentials the English selection switches to Dutch ....
I actually gave it a try to provide English screenshots ...

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it ...

It was the global source permission ...
I had to do some rearrangement of paragraphs and some more permissions to get it right.
