Hi Marius,
that works and was easy to realize, thanks! And thanks for your description as well. I
now understand why this is happening.
Vincent also wrote that this behavior is quite normal, but it could be a bit more user
friendly...in my opinion. It would be nice if normal users where not permitted to edit the
page or if they get a warning that the page will be saved with wrong permissions.
I agree. The issue is that we can’t guess is some APIs require Programming Rights for
example (or Admin Rights).
However what we’ve done for this is introduce a manual xobject to specify what permission
is required for a given page. What we could do is associate a custom edit sheet with that
xclass and display a warning if the current users doesn’t have the required permission. Or
we could simply modify the default edit sheet to display this information in a panel in
the same way as we list included pages in edit mode (in a more visible way).
@Devs: WDYT? We have such an xobject for PR right now but I guess we could generalize it
for all permissions.
Thanks

Best regards
