(apology if this has been addressed in later versions already)
When there is no View Restriction, the lock icon is a an unlocked solid grey padlock
When it is Edit restricted it is STILL the same unlocked solid grey padlock
When it is View and Edit restricted it is a locked solid red padlock
I propose that this is changed to
- When there is no View or Edit Restriction, the lock icon is a an unlocked black outlined padlock i.e. white filled.
- When it is ONLY View Restricted, no Edit Restricted, it is a locked solid grey padlock, i.e. grey filled
- When it is ONLY Edit restricted, i.e. everyone can view and a nominated editors, it is a is a locked red outlined padlock i.e. white filled.
- When it is View AND Edit Restricted, it is a is a locked solid red padlock i.e. red filled.
That way there is a differentiation between the types of restrictions that have been applied.
The outlined padlock, locked or unlocked, always indicates no View Restrictions.
The solid filled padlock indicates Edit Restrictions
[CONFSERVER-59758] extra format of Page Restriction Lock Icon
The problem here is that a page is easily shared without realising it is restricted for viewing. Surely an easy and obvious fix is that suggested above.
I manage multiple large instances and just got a user ticket about this. She could not figure out why the Edit icon was missing; there's not indicator that edit restrictions exist. Some version of Rodney's suggestion is good, subject to the UX team's judgement. Should be pretty easy to change I hope.
