I agree. The issue is that we can’t guess is some APIs require Programming Rights for example (or Admin Rights). However what we’ve done for this is introduce a manual xobject to specify what permission is required for a given page. What we could do is associate a custom edit sheet with that xclass and display a warning if the current users doesn’t have the required permission. Or we could simply modify the default edit sheet to display this information in a panel in the same way as we list included pages in edit mode (in a more visible way). @Devs: WDYT? We have such an xobject for PR right now but I guess we could generalize it for all permissions.
