Hi Denis, Thanks for your feedback. On Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 1:38 PM, Denis GERMAIN <dt.germain(a)gmail.com> wrote: This is when you need to make exceptions: you want all the children to behave in a certain way, but the parent or a certain subpage to have different rights. I agree it's a more marginal use case, but still it could happen. I agree the rights inheritance is problematic and yes we should improve it (in terms of setting it and display the applied rules). This functionality gets outside of the scope of this Administration reorganization/simplification, but it's indeed very important (and apparently a common problem). We added some new functionality in terms of visibility and creation restrictions for templates, but they were intended more as powerful features, we didn't focus on simplifying the process. Yes, we could do some improvements there too, especially since we have started promoting Templates more. Thank you so much, Caty
