Public bug reported:

You can set an overriding start / end date for pages. If users set dates
individually for users but also use the overriding start / end date,
they can overlap and their user may not be able to have access after
all. Right now it reads:

---
Nobody else can see this page before 2 March 2016 or after 31 March 2016.
UserA 01/04/2016→15/04/2016
---

Therefore: While technically UserA has access to the page in April, she
doesn't because the overriding date only allows access until the end of
March.

I would suggest that when an overriding start / end date is set that
collides with another date set for an individual user / group etc., the
user should get a warning about the conflict so they don't even set
those dates in the first place and can resolve the problem right there.

I marked this as a high bug because it affects usability quite heavily
and users wonder why their instructor who should have access doesn't
actually have access.
