node privacy settings gets nuked if user do not have 'administer nodes' right set when editing a page node

this is never a problem if some administrator edits the pages, but strange stuff happens when my restricted access user, member of a role that do not have the right to create nodes, nor 'administreter nodes', mere 'edit page content', edits a page.

When the edit is posted, an "access denied" turns up, because the node_privacy_byrole checkboxes have all been cleared. The only solution is to give 'administer nodes' permission to the role, which was not my intention. As it works now, 'edit page content' right only is not possible since the pages seems to disappear for those users.

Thanks for a good module anyway!

This happens to me as well. Users who can't update permission on the edit page will clear the checkboxes if they submit.

Hope this bug will be fixed soon :(

I was wrong. The 'administer nodes' permission has nothing to do with it. But in the content type settings. If one does not grant "rights to update permissions" to the Role, The rights gets nuked when the user Saves an Edit, and an "access denied" page immediately turns up. Everyone who are to edit a page, must also have the right to ALTER permissions, which is really dumb. I can't find a way around this.
