Description

Final users don't know what a url alias is, so there should be a way for having automatic friendly urls, without filling any form.

I am not sure what is the best approach: permissions or maybe more css selectors for hiding the fields with css

I know Drupal is very easy, but there is still room for making it easier for final final final users

Hmmm at this time, once you allow a user to administer nodes, the user have available all the forms that modify the node. Making those forms collapsed make them less intrusive, but not entirely straight forward to use.

I think there should be separated permissions for each form to be displayed, but I see this is not the standard in drupal modules.

Perhaps a css class in the fieldset could have everybody happy, because it adds more control for the presentation.

Thanks
