A little confused on Security. It can contradict it's self as I se

As I see, what if I setup a category called project viewer (just example)
just too view projects. And then added a group called Team Member. Now I add
the Project viewer category to the Team Member group. But on that screen you
can also set permissions, so what if I changed the permission to be able to
view projects to deny viewing projects. Now I would have this setting to be
allowed in the project viewer category but denied in the group settings. So
two differnt settings for the same thing. Will one override the other. Which
setting will take effect? The on in the category settings or the one in
groups settings since you can modify these settings in 2 different places.
Am I missing something here?

The order of precedence with permissions is:

Deny trumps Allow and Not Allowed.
Allow trumps Not Allowed.

A word to the wise: rarely if ever use the Deny permission, as its effect
is cumulative across all Groups to which a user belongs. Hope this helps.
