thanks for your reply.

I am using Alfresco Webclient 1.3. In that i am not able to find the 'Manage Content Users' action from 'More Actions' Link. I can see the 'Manage Space Users' and 'Manage Content Rules'.

Please help me to find the 'Manage Content Users' action.

Thanks

It sounds like you are viewing details of the space not the content.

Click the view details icon under the name of the content item you want to restrict. Under the Close button, in the Actions panel, you should see an item for "Manage Content Users".

Interesting.
Can this also be done for mime-types? For example if I want one sort of user to only see pdf files.

This is not something you can do out-of-the-box, but you could write a custom evaluator class that checked the mimetype of the current node context and then configure that in to the appropriate actions.

Thanks,
