I am logged in. If I am not logged in, RTD proposes to login.

Expected Result

Starting build, or explaining why it doesn't happen.

This is something that was changed recently at #3260.

I think the that the decision is not to show the Build button in projects where you don't have permissions. I'm creating a PR for this behaviour.

[techtonik]

I like the button - it gives a hint that it is possible to rebuild docs online.

[humitos]

I also liked the button, but it's true that it's kind of weird to trigger builds in documentation that are not your projects.

I'm not sure if this could be a problem or not. Maybe @agjohnson can explain more about this decision.

[techtonik]

I don't see how manually triggering a build is a problem for projects that you don't own on RTD. As a contributor, I like to trigger builds regardless of my status with RTD. If there is abuse in the system, it should be proven that it actually takes place and throttled, like any sane API does.
