this sounds like a bug, which DNN version and control panel are you using? Are you using default CE permission provider?

Speed up your DNN Websites with TurboDNN

Not so much a bug as a long term design flaw - this is an old problem when a user has been granted - Page Edit abilities on a page - they can also add a new page - but do not have Admin permissions - to actually edit that new page if they FORGET to assign themselves edit rights when creating the new page.

The dnn permissions system has been flawed in this area for a long time.

The correct answer is that a user that has been given PAGE EDIT rights to a page - and who is NOT an admin
 - should NOT really be able to add a new page. - that should require a separate rights level

Alternatively - the PAGE EDIT rights should be propagated to the new page - by default.

But Ive always thought that they should NOT be able to add or delete the page unless they have admin permissions or more ideally a new PAGE ADMIN rights.

this is easy to test -

Set up a new user.
while in admin - grant the user page edit rights to a specific page or pages.
log in as the user - when they visit that new page they will have edit rights
 - AND they can also add a new page or delete the current one.
 - if they ADD a page - their default access rights are not copied in by default to the new page.
So if they forget to set access rights - and hit ADD - they will have created a page but NOT now be able to edit it because by default the permissions are ADMIN only.
