[Geoprisma-users] Auto hiding of vector layers if no edit permissions?

[Alexandre Dube]

Steve,

  You're right.  WFS/Vector resources should be displayed as layers only 
if a widget use them (like the edition widgets, as you mentioned).  
That's currently in discussion, but it is a fact regardless and should 
be added at some point.

  Please, fill a ticket for this and report it back here.

Regards,

Alexandre
