>Description:
When the gnatsd.host_access access-level is set to 'view' (for example), and gnatsd.acess has users with various access-levels - only the access-level set on gnatsd.host_access prevail.

That does not appear to happen when the passwords are stored in clear-text (ie. $0$passme). If the passwords are encrypted, it fails to see the user access-level and defaults to gnatsd.host_acess settings.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. In /etc/gnats/gnatsd.host_access put:
127.0.0.1:view:

2. In /var/lib/gnats/gnats-db/gnats-adm/gnatsd.access put:
plainguy:$0$test:edit:default
cryptguy:4/1d3Y7NqgISI:admin:default

The cryptguy password is 'test'. 'plainguy' will have proper access-level, whereas 'cryptguy' will default to 'view'.
