=== ForbiddenAttribute ===
There are several possible causes:
 * The attribute does not exist. (This would normally cause an AttributeError.)
 * The attribute is present in the database class, but not in the relevant interface
 class.
 * The attribute is not named in the relevant ZCML file. This does not apply if
 the entire interface is allowed.
 * There ''is'' no corresponding interface.

This is not the same as Unauthorized. Unauthorized means that an authorization regime has been properly set up, but the current user is not authorized.
