I think that whole dialog needs a rewamp that "Object name:" string does not match the "simple language"-guidelines and this "To continue" text is also rather confusing for novice users.

The Security tab is in fact an advance user's item, novice users really should not be poking around in it.

And we arn't advanced users? I have to say we are, given we know how to send feedback on such things...
