Description

Redesign the permissions UI from Dojo to Angular. Make permission effects visible and predictable — show inheritance, preview impact before saving, detect conflicts, and unify the UI across all entry points (content, folders, sites, workflows, roles). Requires design exploration.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing permissions UI across content, folders, sites, workflows, and roles, then compare the current Dojo experience with the intended Angular redesign. The issue calls for design exploration of inheritance visibility, impact previews, conflict detection, and unified entry points; done means those requirements have a defined, consistent design.
