  * Date: 2013-June-26

-------- DESCRIPTION  
---------------------------------------------------------

The Fast Permissions Administration module enables you to use inline filters
on the permissions page, as well as loading the permissions form through a
modal dialog.

The module doesn't sufficiently check user access for the modal content
callback, allowing unauthorized access to the permissions edit form.
