Hi -- I was wondering if there is a way for the parent container to have different access controls than the children resources of this particular container?
Here's what I'm attempting to do. I want a user group to have permissions to add, edit, delete all child resources in a particular folder(container) but I do not want that same user group to be able to edit,delete the parent. Is there an easy way to do this? I've looked on the web and cannot seem to find a solution. thanks for any help in advance.

I'm on the latest release 2.2.6-pl
I think to put the parent in a resource group A of its own,
put the children in a resource group B of theirs.
Give access to A to one usergroup
Give access to B to another usergroup
This would work perfectly if the resources were already created. I say so because I think the children inherit the resource group their parent belongs to as soon as they are newly created...unless you remember to check the correct resource group.

Harden your MODX site by
passwording your three main folders:
core, manager, connectors and renaming your
assets (thank me later!)

Good point with the inheritance, that would probably create the need for a plugin that sets the appropriate resource group OnDocFormSave or so for the child resources.
usergroup B (less rights) should only have permission to VIEW Resource Group A, but not anything else...
interested if it works =)!
