The issue with that approach is that it is user-centric. So, the way I understand it, you would have to set that option for every new user in order to protect that page. That is unworkable.

What I am looking for is a page-centric approach, that much in the way the View Permissions sit on a page, you could have Edit Permissions as well, so that I could say essentially “for this page, these are the only users (or these are the only roles) that can edit this page.” Then, no matter how many new users you set up, nothing about the page edit access would change.

So at the bottom of each page along with View Access, you would also have:

Edit Access: O – Allow Edit O – Prohibit Edit
For Users:
O – All visitors (logged in or not)
O – Any User Role (logged in only)
O – Selected User Roles:
(and add)
O – Selected Users:

I’d be fine with only being able to specify by user or by role, but preferably either or both.
