Save size of design canvas without 'users' permissions

Why is it necessary to have permissions to the user page to save the size of the design canvas and the options of locking regions and controls?

Should not be a particular feature of any user?

Editing user preferences or changing passwords etc will require access to users page, that’s the way it’s designed.

I’m not sure if we would like to change it, @dan any opinions?

They are “user preferences” so the “user” permission is required to change them - this seems sensible?
