    Default Able to Edit Source Code using Contribute 2

    One of our Contribute 2 users on a Mac figured out a way to edit the source
    code of a PHP file and upload his changes. I never thought this was possible,
    so I was wondering if anyone else had the same experience with this?

    This is how it was done:

    1) View page and press Edit
    2) Press Save for Later
    3) Apparently, it saves a local copy of the file. In this case, it was
    whateveruser/library/application
    support/macromedia/contribute2/sites/site1/whateversite/index.php
    4) Open file with text editor
    5) Save
    6) Publish
    7) Contribute argues a little but if you keep pressing it uploads successfully!

    How can I prevent this? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    James

    There is no way with the current version (3) to keep a smart person from
    editing the source.
