[TYPO3] Mount from groups and DB Mounts don't work together

[Katja Lampela]

Hi Bing,

I think you can only either mount from groups or give a mounting point,
not both.

The db mounting point gives you anyway the root mounting point; I mean
all the subpages will be accessible for this group too - but surely only
if the group permissions are set right (web/access module).

You could maybe play with the group/owner access rights. So that you
would have only one group for these "one page editors" which has
dbmounting in the site root but the access rights would be very limited.
And when a new user would be added to this group, he/she would be
assigned as an owner of a page. Never tested but i think it could work.
