I don't know your purpose, but do you really need per-*user* rights on
pages? In almost every case I've seen, it's better to use groups.

Do you mean you'd like to edit security within the page editing
interface in addition to using the normal security editing system? If
so, you can but it will take some work. I did some work a couple months
ago to make the security editing widget embeddable in another form, but
I don't know if I finished or not. (Lame...)

One of the issues with this is checking the security on who should be
allowed to use the security editor, and where. For instance, say you're
running a site where users can set security on their own news stories.
Should we put a check in the security editing function to ensure that
users viewing and modifying security for a news story have at least
WRITE permissions to it?

In any case, if this is what you're looking for let me know and I'll see
if it's working.
