Can a role that's not 'superuser' see the Admin page in the page tree?

[Jonathan Lahijani]

I created a custom role called "editor" and assigned a user to that role.  The role has every permission assigned.

I also assigned full capabilities to this role on the "home" template and made sure it inherits to the children.  I did the same for the "admin" template.

However when I log in as a user with this editor role, I don't see the "Admin" page in the page tree.  If I go to the edit URL of it (id=2), I can edit it successfully however.

Why can't I see the Admin page listed in the page tree when logged in as a user with that role?

This is intentional; specific system pages are by default only displayed to the superuser role. Trash is a special case that may be displayed to non-superusers as well.

Whether this decision makes sense is, of course, another question. In my experience it has been a good thing, and I've never personally come across a reason to display the Admin area to non-superusers that wouldn't be better solved in some other way ?
