  Hello!
  
  I don't understand how page permissions work. Here's the method:
  
  string[] roles = { "RoleName" };
  ISecured sPage = (ISecured)MyPage;
  
  sPage.SetPermissions(Telerik.Cms.Security.PageRights.View, Telerik.Cms.Security.PageRights.Delete, roles);
  
  If I want a role to have edit and delete, do I have to call this twice or does delete permission mean you have edit permissions? The API docs don't say anything about what the int value means.
  
  Thanks!
  
  Doug

  Hi Doug,
  
  This method sets the specified permission for the specified roles. The first parameter is used for setting the allow rights, the second for deny and the third is array of roles. If you want to grant View and Create and deny Delete you can use this code
  
  sPage.SetPermissions(Telerik.Cms.Security.PageRights.View | Telerik.Cms.Security.PageRights.Create, Telerik.Cms.Security.PageRights.Delete, roles);

  Ah! I see now. I didn't see it documented anywhere that this "grant" int was a bitwise result. It might be helpful to indicate that in the documentation. I usually don't work with bitwise stuff, so it didn't occur to me.
