When I ported over glossary I thought about the simple
expedient of adding "admin" to the permission hierarchy. Then I
wondered if perhaps "read" should be added, too. And maybe
"write"?

Unfortunately, I think if you follow this thread you eventually end
up at "How do I set privileges by object_type by default?"
question.  Since object_types aren't objects themselves you
can't unless you create new specific privileges for that object
type.  I may want to say that all registered users can admin all
glossary objects under the current node (so they can create and
edit glossaries at will), but not all other classes of objects (say
all instances of ETP package) under it.
