I'm using Confluence 3.1.1 and I recently upgraded to Theme Builder 4.0.1 and now my space admins cannot edit their layouts. They get a permission denied error. With full admin access, I can edit those layouts but no one else can. I've verified that my global permssions are correct. Help please!!
On a different note, I don't see a select or apply button on the global permissions page. Is that normal?

Now they can edit the layouts but they cannot save any changes. Only confluence administrators can save changes. Anyone have any suggestions?

Was there a solution to this problem?

Actually that is how I have it configured. Those with permission to use the theme builder are members of a group called (creatively) "adaptavist-theme-builder".
Any other tips?
We are using Confluence 3.2 / Theme Builder 4.0.2 and we use LDAP for our user authentication (if that matters).
