Hi,
I'm trying Alfresco out, in order to check if it's suitable for my company, and there is something I do not like: Users are able to edit any accessible file in shared files.
This is how I have set it up:
Is there any way disable those options for users who do not own a file?
Thanks in advance!

The default roles described in documentation. For example the permissions on content are in the table - Content permissions
In addition, Alfresco custom roles can be created with a lot of combinations of different permissions:

Shared folder by default have permissions for EVERYONE as Coordinator - full access. You can change it or remove inherit for your new folder in Shared Files. But as Coordinator of Shared folder EVERYONE can change this permission to any.
So use sites, as a natural way to manage collaboration in Alfresco.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have created a new site, and I have added "students" group as collaborator, but users still have edit permissions over a file they do not own.
Maybe my main message was misunderstood... I want to disable "Edit properties", "Upload new version", and "Start Workflow" options for those users who have not uploaded the file. So if "Adrian" uploads X file, only "Adrian" should have those options, since he has uploaded the file.
I hope I have explained correctly what I need now...

I have just checked both links. Apparently, the best role for what I wanted is Contributor. I do not see the need of creating a custom one for now. I am accepting your answer as the solution. Thanks for your help and have a good day!
