View space permission description wrongly says that a user can edit a page

    Description

      In the help tips (VIew Space Permissions), it seems like there's an inconsistency.

      Extract:


      These permission types are available:

      1. View Space: user can view space details and view and edit its pages.
      2. Leave Comments: user can leave comments with existing pages.
      3. Modify Space: user can edit pages in a space, add and remove pages, delete comments and upload attachments.
      4. Administrate Space: user can set permissions for the space, and edit the space's description.

      It seems like the View Space permission should be changed into

      user can view space details and view its pages.

      Otherwise it conflicts with modify space.

      Note: I haven't tried to edit pages on a confluence install where users are only given the VIew Space permission. I am maybe wrong. But if I am, please tell me why both the View Space and the Modify Source permissions allow one to edit a space.
