I've tried with the above problem and did the following changes


      <permissionGroup name="CustomRole"  expose="true" allowFullControl="false" >
         <includePermissionGroup type="cm:cmobject" permissionGroup="Consumer"/>
         <includePermissionGroup type="sys:base" permissionGroup="WriteContent"/>
         <includePermissionGroup type="cm:lockable" permissionGroup="CheckOut"/>
         <includePermissionGroup type="sys:base" permissionGroup="ReadPermissions"/>
      </permissionGroup>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

      <permission name="_Lock" requiresType="false" expose="false">
        <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="Lock" />
         <!–requiredPermission on="node" type="sys:base"  name="Write"/–> <!–Commented –>
      </permission>‍‍‍‍

After this change I will be able to only checkout the file and not edit properties.

Actually I have modified the lock permission which is built in, If I want to write custom lock kind of thing, what should I do?. Or else is there any other method to achieve the same thing what am looking for?
And also, I will be able to Add content/space for the new role. So how could I get rid of that one?

Thanks.

Check out web-client-config-actions.xml. I do not have a clear understanding of how this works, but from what it looks like to me you may be able to do something like that here.

         <!– Create content –>
         <action id="create_content">
            <permissions>
               <permission allow="true">CreateChildren</permission>
            </permissions>
            <label-id>create_content</label-id>
            <image>/images/icons/new_content.gif</image>
            <action>wizard:createContent</action>
         </action>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
