[Plugin: User Access Manager] Edit Page/Parent conflict

I am currently using UAM for an organization each program is responsible for maintaining their own content. So UAM is the perfect plugin for what I’m working on as it restricts editing capabilities to only specified users for specified pages.

However, I’ve noticed that if a particular page is part of a hierarchy, when a user is restricted from accessing the parent page then when they edit their OWN page they cannot list it as being part of the same hierarchy structure and therefore are forced to become a parent page themselves.
Is there a workaround to this conflict?
