Andy Boston	Thursday 13 September 2007 3:47:43 am We're currently doing a community site for a local school and they want to restrict editing according to the user. For example the user "John" can only edit the "John" folder. Is this level of user restriction possible? I'd appreciate any help on this.
Laurent BOURREL	Thursday 13 September 2007 4:28:09 am I think the best way to do this is to create a workflow on user creation (you can filter the class concerned by a workflow with a multiplexer workflow). This workflow will have to create a new node for this user using himself as the owner. Then, create a role with a rule content/edit limited on objects created by the owner. The following contribution use this method, but i did'nt test it : http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow/personal_folder Hope this helps...
