We documented this issue [1].

The key issue comes into play when you look at Constraints with a Permission.

If uid:3433433 is a single party, then "Print 5 times" is clear.
If uid:3433433 is a group party, then "Print 5 times" is not so clear. Can each member of the group print 5 times? or is it 5 prints total?

We made the new distinction (asignees) to make it clear that ALL members of the group get the same rights.
