@ohrionmartin we have picked up this issue and will release the fix soon.

For now to fix this you will have to update this line in the Model allowEdit function: Site_viewModel.php line 757
with:

// Since there is no permission given, core edit must be checked.
return $user->authorise('core.edit', $this->option);

This will be the same for layouts and templates.

@ohrionmartin Please update your JCB to the latest alpha4 release and it should resolve this issue not only for JCB but also for the components built with JCB.
