 By default only Administrators have access to the "Attributes" panel on
 the Page Edit form. (Attributes panel includes Page parent, template, and
 order.) In my opinion, users with the capability to publish pages (or if
 that's too lenient, the capability to edit others' pages or something
 similar) should have the ability to create child pages; that is, to choose
 a parent page for the current page.

 I installed the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/ Capability
 Manager plugin] to try to add this ability to some users. It turns out
 even users with all capabilities related to Pages still cannot access this
 panel. This capability is only available with the "Manage options"
 capability, which is granting too much power to someone just so they can
 create child pages.
