WSS - List Permission Problem

[tinggg]

Hi

I'm using WSS.

I've created a form for our staff to fill out using a 'custom list'.

I want them to be able to edit their own form but not the forms others complete.

I've set Item-level Permissions as;
Edit access: only their own.

As Contributors i've set their permissions to
View List Items
Add List Items
Edit List Items

The problem is - it appears are able to edit the forms of others. How can I prevent this so that they can only edit their own?

In the view i've ticked the Edit (link to edit item) - could this be the problem? I wanted to add this to the view so that a person could go in and edit their own form.

Thank, your help is appreciated.

Hello,

Are you sure that they are actually able to save and item that they have not created themselves? A user that has access to read all the contents of a list will also be able to actually chose to edit the item, but when trying to save they should not be able to, they should be prompted for a username and password or directly get to the Request access page.

Even if you chose not to use the Edit (link to edit item) but yopu chose the Linked to item choice a users that has read access can still go into the item and chose to edit it.

If you want to prevent users from doing this you would have to set the read access only to their own, that will hide all the other entries made by other users. The only users that would be able to see all the items are users in the Web Designer and Administrator groups (or a custom site group with the ManageList rights)

Cheers,
Thomas
