I'd like to stop a person editting a record if they didn't create it.

In fact, I'd be happy to stop the editting records full stop, but all I can seem to do, is stop them from deleting or adding.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

This doesn't help I'm afraid. As far as I can see, this just restricts the person from viewing the record which does in turn stop them from editting it, but I would like them to be able to view records, just not edit them (in the same way as you can control whether they delete them or not).

How come you're advertising a different product in your signature, isn't the whole idea of a forum to freely discuss ideas and solution? I would have thought advertising should take place somewhere else.

Thanks.

sorry that I wasn't able to help.

If I can think of something else, I'll pass it on.

Best of luck,

Hi pothompson,

There's no functionality in the CMS to allow users to view but not modify records. You could create some viewers for that. What kind of site are you building?
