Ability to only read/edit own items within a single folder

[peterzmlim]

I understand that this had been asked for a couple of times by others but there were no replies to those threads. I will put forward this question again.

I would like to allow my users to be able to read and edit only their own files within a single as a shared workspace. The manager of the users will be allowed to read/edit/manage all files created by all of the users within the folder.

I've been through permissionDefinitions.xml and other docs on the wiki, but there's no documentation on how to do this. Is it possible to set up a custom permissions like onlyReadOwnItems/onlyEditOwnItems/onlyDeleteOwnItems?

Hi,

I would create a rule for every created item that sets the permissions for that file not inheriting them from the parent folder.

You can achieve it with a custom Java action or creating a Javascript script

Dear Adei,

Thanks for the suggestion, It sounds like a good idea, I'll try out the Java Action.
