User access permissions ... page-lister?

[BrendonKoz]

Just curious if anyone has any idea as to why there's any reason to deny such a permission (page-lister) from users that would have edit (or greater) access? Is it optional because it's a (potentially) slower query and therefore may cause unnecessary strain on the system? (That's the only possible conclusion I could come up with.)

Client: "What's a filter? Should I add one? Why are there all these dropdowns? What's a num_children? I've forgotten my modified_users_id - can you email it to me? What's a bookmark? I have a bookmark for Google - is it like that? I don't understand what I do on the columns tab. My brain hurts. Why did you make this so confusing? etc, etc, etc"

But seriously, it's just a permission so you have the option to show Lister to a role or not show it to a role. It's just to give flexibility.

That is a perfect response! Funny too! I definitely wasn't thinking along those lines when I saw the permission, but it makes much more sense now. Haha. Thank you Robin S!
