Is it possible to take ownership as a rule?

[sno]

Hi,

i am trying to configure an automatic system for bills with Alfresco.
The users should be able to upload bills in an specific folder, where different rules are applied. I want to encapsulate the bills, so that no user can delete or modify the bills after putting them in the folder.

The problem now is that someone has to take the ownership, so that the content is encapsulated. Is it possible to do that with a rule?
It would be a helpful feature …in my opinion.

Or is there another way to encapsulate content from the person who uploaded it?

Thanks for replies.

You have a couple of options. 1) Implement a custom action that takes ownership or 2) Manage the permissions of the uploaded content.

For 2) as an administrator you could select "Manage Content Users" and turn off permissions inheritance. This effectively removes all permissions but those you explictly define.

to 2) :
When i login as admin and go to "Manage System Users", there is no option to turn off permissions inheritance. I´m using Alfresco Community Version 1.4.

I can only disable "Inherit Parent Space Permissions" in specific spaces, but that does not solve my problem.

to 1) :
Is there any available descriptionfor that?
Via Search I couldnt find anything but my own thread.

There is a wiki page explaining how to create custom actions: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Actions

As for the permissions inheritance, you can also do this at the content level not just the space level. If you go to the document details for a piece of content and you'll see "Manage Content Users" (not Manage System Users as you tried), this dialog should allow you to remove the inheritance.

Hope that helps.

Hi again,

There is a wiki page explaining how to create custom If you go to the document details for a piece of content and you'll see "Manage Content Users" (not Manage System Users as you tried), this dialog should allow you to remove the inheritance.

but this has also to be done by hand for each document, same as taking the ownership.

I´ll try to write a custom action for taking the ownership.

Thank you.
