DenisChenu 2025-05-23 16:51 developer ~82751	You are not allowed to read the site settings or No permission ? Unsure here

tibor.pacalat 2025-05-26 15:24 administrator ~82763	I think for every situation where user is missing permissions, we should use the same wording. It should be "No permission".
