Agreed on both points. I have just been through security.py and there are a lot of permission checkers, a lot of them more complicated than the example above. It looks very messy to me. With the current system, each permission checker would need to return its own "error string" but I am not clear as to where on the page this would appear. Tooltip? Because of the complexity, these strings would get quite long and different things on a page will be protected by different permissions. But I like any approach that makes the UI more transparent to the user, so I think this might be worth the effort.
