Change page parent despite template settings?

[suntrop]

I have configured some template to be not movable, so the editors can't move them around. But actually I need to move them with the API. Is there some way to avoid the error 

Pages using template 'order' are not moveable

Untested, but it might be possible to change the template object's noMove property before and after moving the page:

<?php

$nomove = $page->template->noMove;
$page->template->noMove = false;

$page->of(false);
$page->parent = $pages->get('/my/new/parent/');
$page->save();
$page->of(true);

$page->template->noMove = $nomove;

You can revoke the "page-move" permission for a template per role:

Thanks both of you!

Where do I find that option? 

I am using 3.0.42 and can't find that option.

The role must have Edit permission for the template: page-sort and page-move are sub-permissions of the page-edit permission.

On PW 3.0.141, can anyone think of why as a logged-in Superuser with no visible Page Edit/Move restrictions on current page (let alone Templates, Pages, or any Parent Pages), I am getting a "You don't have permission to move pages using this parent" error in the Pages tree? Thanks.

I've had some strange issues recently with pages that had a parent template restriction in the family settings and moving/creating them parent pages that in turn had a child template family restriction. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to investigate this further and just removed one of the restrictions to get things working again.
