This page is based on a file from the site's definition, and you do not have permission to customize it.

A developer was receiving the error "This page is based on a file from the site's definition, and you do not have permission to customize it. Contact your site collection administrator."  This was on our development site where all of IT was an owner of the site.  The problem was in the site collection administration settings ->  SharePoint Designer Settings.  Made sure all the boxes were checked and the error went away.

    What if you check all the boxes and still get the message? I'm stumped on this one.
