Resolution

B1905:
From b1905 on there is a change in logic. The permission Read/Write permission on Metadata Framework (Renamed to "Access to non-secured objects"), is no long required.
This Permission now simply labeled as "Access to non-secured objects", is only required, to access non-secured MDF objects via Manage Data.
It is no longer required to access the History of an MDF object or "Manage" in the Position org Chart.
