      We had an interesting problem where padlock link for editing page permissions in view page mode ended working. After digging around we could narrow it down to this:

      • Database contained group that was saved incorrectly by Confluence as "Me & amp; My Team" (without amp space) instead of correct version "Me & My Team"
        • This was probably created by earlier version of Confluence, 3.0.2 most likely
        • Cannot reproduce creation of incorrect name in database with version 3.1
      • PermittedUserFinder.checkGroupExplicitlyPermitted threw NullPointerException which was probably caused by null group as our AD does not contain group with & amp;

      Because of this problem padlock didn't open any dialog and there were errors in our log:
