Display of access to specific modules on the Django admin panel doesn't seem to be checking for permissions, but uses a custom method has_module_perms ( @link) from the ModelBackend. Thus when no permission is set on either the user or the group object, the django admin visually denies access.
Solution:
In the committees backend.py file add the missing method with the required logic
Edit: Check this source code to see how the Django auth module handles it and realise that a better way would be to use the permission cache on the user object while you are at it
