Description
The 'Editor' role can delete objects inside folders (via the 'Delete objects' permission). However, renaming objects does not work. Presumably, this is just a matter of giving this role the 'Copy or move' permission.

Turns out you need to have:
- Delete objects
- Add portal content
- Copy or move
in order to rename. We can't give that to Editor, since then Editor would be able to add as a well.
I think some sites may want to give "Delete objects" and "Copy or move" to the Contributor role, but I'm not sure if this should be the default, since it means that a Contributor can delete other contributors' content. On the other hand, it's a bit daft if you can create content but not "undo" by removing it. I'm starting to think both Editor and Contributor should have all three of these permissions. I want some input, though, so I've asked the list.
