Hi rainer, Thanks for that link. It doesn't exactly point out the answer to my issue, but I've been able to derive something from it.
Basically, this is what I wanted: /page1 /page1/page2 I want the author to only read /page1 but be able to add nodes under /page1 and edit /page1/page2. I initially used: R/W - current+sub - /$ R - current+ sub - /page1 RW - sub - /page1 With /page1 and /page1/page2 already created, the author could edit /page1/page2 and only read /page1. The problem was that the author could delete /page1/page2 but not recreate it. I'm now using this: R/W - current+sub - /$ R - current+ sub - /page1$ RW - sub - /page1 Which does exactly what I want. The UI is a little confusing, though, because it doesn't immediately restrict the author from editing /page1. It makes it seem like the author can edit that node, but then prompts the author with pop-up saying he can't.
