Restrict access only own content

[Jhon Benites]

Hi guys, i have this case:

Role1: This role can view/edit/publish content of the "Customer" contentType

Role2: This role can view/edit/publish content of the "Customer" contentType

User1: belongs to the Role1

User2: belongs to the Role2

Let's say that the User1 creates Customer1 and Customer2 content

and the User2 creates Customer3 and Customer4 content

My current behavior is:

When the User1 access to the cms he can see all Customer content, it is Customer1,Customer2,Customer3 and Customer4

When the User2 access to the cms he can see all Customer content, it is Customer1,Customer2,Customer3 and Customer4

Is there any way to restrict the User1 and the User2 only can see their own content?

It is:

User1 access to the CMS and he only can see: Customer1 and Customer2

User2 access to the CMS and he only can see: Customer3 and Customer4

I will appreciate any response or suggestion on it. The DotCMS version that we are using is 4.3.3.

Thanks in advance.

Try removing the "Edit" authorization from the Roles and adding "Create" authorization instead.

• Edit permission means the user can edit content owned/created by other users.
• So if you give users that permission, they will be able to edit content owned/created by other users.
• Create permission means the user can create new content, but not edit other users' content.
• However a user can still edit content they created, even if they don't have the "Edit" permission set - so this permission should be what you want.

Hi John

Thank you so much for your response. On the cms, on the screen where i set the permissions by role i am not seeing "Create" authorization, i only see these:

Is there any way to set that "Create" authorization?

Thank you John!!!
