Bug Description

The default webservice user in testing/pages.py is an admin user, which sometimes hides real issues.

We should not use this.

There are webservice, public_webservice and user_webservice available in test.globs. Perhaps it should be renamed to admin_webservice to be more clear?

Also, can you elaborate which issue was hidden by using the default webservice?

Primarily access rights to things.

I added a method in the pagetest globs called webservice_for_person
that is able to create a webservice object for any person object, like one
created from the factory object.

I had raised this in the reviewer meeting, and just wanted to make people more
aware.
