The "Edit" right should imply the "View" right

    Description

      Right now, an user can have the edit right on a page without having the view right.

      This is a bit weird since when an user has the edit right he can access the contents of the page provided he knows the URL.

      Thus I think that the "View" right should be automatically inherited from the "Edit" right: if an user can edit a page he should automatically be allowed to view it.

      This can cause some issues: for instance, since the Office Importer relies on a check to see whether an user has edit rights on the target page, an user can use the Office Importer to import a document using the Office Importer and create that document in a space that the user cannot access in view mode.
