Hi Sean, what version of Magnolia are we talking about here? Just a simple test: - login to demoauthor instance as "eric" (editor) - activate a page - once a version is created, try to view it ==> you can see the versions. If you login as a superuser and check Eric's permissions, you will see that he has restricted access to root as well (via role demo-project-editor).
The only permission you need to give is to access the node itself (/$) but not anything underneath.
