How do rights work?

Contributors Thanked: 12 kez	Hi; How do they exactly work? I updated my database to Cotonti 0.6.20 and installed an_blogger. I noticed that when I do any rights update on user groups, they suddenly don't have access to creating pages in the blog. They get a message "forbidden, you're not allowed to do it". I can't really explain it. The groups that I didn't touch in admin/users area work normally. I even created a new group with a setting "set rights as group XXX(working group)", but still it doesn't work - the same error message. There's also auth cache in each user row: when is it generated/reloaded? Only during changing rights in plugins/groups/categories/profile/etc? If I purge it for every user, will it be regenerated or maybe they will lose access to the site? I'm afraid that my database might be a bit messed up after upgrades. If I were to transfer data to a clean installation of Genoa 0.6.20, what should I copy, what should I purge?

Hi;
