Page editing permissions

I’m wondering if there is a short-cut way of setting page-edit permissions. If I understand it correctly, and this is what I’ve done before, the way you normally set up permissions is:

- Create a document group
- Add a document (or documents) to this
- Create a user group
- Add a user (or users) to this
- Link the document group and user group

This works perfectly fine for 99% of what I want to do. But I have a particular case where this would be awkward. I have to set up pages for individual staff members (there are about 75 of these), and each member of staff will need to be able to edit their own page, but not anyone else’s staff pages. However, the site administrator would need to be able to edit all those pages. Now, I could set up 75 user groups and 75 document groups for these. But that would be a ridiculous amount of work and it would make the interface when creating new documents really unwieldy, as it would list all 75 of those document groups at the bottom. So, is there any way of matching a single user to a single document without using document groups and user groups?

Thanks!

Have you tried the plugin Customize Manager Fields? You can add/edit/remove different links and such.

You could give the documents each names and allow only the user permission only to that file. I can’t think of another way to take down the number of users or anything, sadly

This would be a little more efficient than creating all 75 groups, dox, and users..

I’ll take a look at that and see if I can make it work. Thanks, B-RaD.

I’ve looked at the plugin, and I must admit that I can’t see how I would use it in this way. This may be beyond my skill level, I’m afraid...

Do a search for PPP; that may be more along the lines of what you are looking for.

Hi Jason. That does look much more like what I’m after. Thanks!
