I've choosen the second option, because I want to make it transparent for the 
user. I've cut out, in templates/menuview.vm, the advanced user check. But the 
modifications have not worked. I've also changed the order of the edit menu 
options, to test, and they were not reflected on the edit menu. 

It seems that it's looking on some other vm file, or other overriding 
configuration. I've also changed skin/colibri/editmenu.vm, but no success. 
There's other menuview.vm on skins/colibri/menuview.vm, but on it there's no 
velocity code for the edit menu. 

I've refreshed the browser, cleaned the cache, but nothing. How can I succeed 
on it?

Regards, 
Ramon Gomes Brandão

Any user that can edit a page can also edit the rights for that page.

There are two kinds of users, advanced and simple users. This is set 
from the user's profile. For more details, see 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdvancededitingmodes

Simple users have a simple edit menu, with just one entry, the default 
edit mode for a document. Advanced users see the full edit menu. So, 
it's not that only administrators can edit page rights, but that 
administrators are by default advanced users.

So, there are two options:
- tell users that they can edit page rights if they switch to "advanced"
- change menuview.vm so that the "advanced user" check is omitted
