            Description

            If you want to retrieve country-information using the HTTP-api, like e.g.

            sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php/?api_key=APIKEY&key=SITEKEY&debug=1&version=3&entity=Country&action=get&json=%7b%22id%22%3a1020%2c%22return%22%3a%22iso_code%22%7d&sequential=1

            You get an error:
            API permission check failed for Country\/get call; insufficient permission: require administer CiviCRM

            I would think that for retrieving country information, the 'access CiviCRM' permission should be sufficient.
