GeoNode(Django) admin, permissions for users

GeoNode(Django) admin, permissions for users

How can I allow a user to edit a layer name when in the 'Update the
description of this data' section...aka
http://yoursite.org/data/geonode:foobar?describe ? It works if I check the
Superuser status box, but I couldn't figure out the specific setting from
the list to allow 'updating'.

Does this actually work? That layer name is the name of the layer as
configured in GeoServer, I would expect manually manipulating it to result
in broken layer pages etc. since GeoNode and GeoServer would disagree on the
name of a layer.  The Title should be used if the user wants a specific
label on a layer, names should be considered as strictly for robot
consumption.  In fact, some of the UI changes made for 1.0.1 have made this
name less visible (it shows up only the URL, the title is used for layer
link text everywhere.)
