I recently reported a bug to perforce that if there is a

protection line

that removes access to all users, like

list user * * -//path/...

What worked for me was to put a line like that as the first line in the proection file,

In my experience, this isn't necessary. - mappings exclude what is above them in the protections file and have no effect on what comes afterwards. If it's the first line then it has no effect (you don't need to take away what people don't have!).

You're describing the second phase of scanning the protection table. This line is important for the first phase, in which the server scans top-down to decide whether the user is worth bothering with at all.
