User contributions security

✖
Copy to clipboard

The User contributions web parts use the following properties to configure their security options:

  • Check permissions - if you choose this option, appropriate permissions to read/modify/create/delete documents using the User contributions web parts need to be granted to the users. See Configuring permissions for more details on document permissions.

  • Insert requires doc.type permission - indicates if document type permissions are required to create a new document.

  • Allow insert/edit/delete - indicates if the respective buttons should be displayed.

  • Allow editing by users - you can choose between:

    • All - any user who comes to the page with the web part can use it to edit documents
    • Authenticated - any authenticated user (site member) can edit the documents; you can use this value in combination with the NodeOwner = {%CurrentUser.UserID%} value in the WHERE condition property for the web part to display only documents created by the current user (and therefore allow editing of these documents only to them)
    • Document owners - only owner of the parent document under which the user contribution documents are stored can edit them
