A feature of the network diagram is to apply a statistical centrality layout, which you can do by using the centrality panel of the network diagram. Even though a user is not assigned the centrality capability, they are still presented with the centrality configuration panel. If the user tries to use the activities on the panel, they receive a permission is denied message, which is expected.

With this hot fix, a user who is not granted the centrality permission will not be able to view the centrality panel of the network diagram.
