Attendees for EICS, Pittsburgh 2009?

Hello, all:

IxDA Pittsburgh is interested to know if anybody will be attending ACM
SIGCHI's EICS symposium, coming up in July. If there will be some IxDA
members in our city for this event, we would love to host an evening
get-together.

Messaging when user does not have permission to edit some data

I'm working on an app where users have fine-grained permissions to edit
specific bits of data on a page (edit buttons appear next to each set of
data). The problem is, when users don't have the permission to edit the
data, then they think it's not editable - period. They don't realize someone
else in their organization might have permission to change it. Instead, they
call the app host's customer service.

What's a friendly, non-obtrusive way to let them know that even though they
cannot edit the data, someone else might be able to?

There are some sensitivities around this.
