Thanks, I have applied the patch in SVN (although I used
permissionRequired('delete') instead of permissionRequired('siteadmin'),
since the former is what we require).
In general, making SMWAdmin available to anyone who can delete seems to be
wrong, but the really restrictive rights like siteadmin require extra
configuration to be available to anyone at all. Maybe we will at least add an
option to restrict SMWAdmin to those.
