Different to the default implementation, this method also takes into account local roles set on any department connected to the context student. If the given principal has at least one of the `external_rolenames` roles granted for the external object, it additionally gets `additional_rolename` role for the context student. For the additional roles the `extra_attrib` and all its parent objects are looked up, because 'role inheritance' does not work on that basic level of permission handling. Some advantages of this approach: - we don't have to store extra local roles for clearance officers in ZODB for each student - when local roles on a department change, we don't have to update thousands of students; the local role is assigned dynamically. Disadvantage: - More expensive role lookups when a clearance officer wants to see an student form. This implementation is designed to be usable also for other contexts than students. You can inherit from it and set different role names to lookup/set easily via the static class attributes.
