How to set up my list so that a user can see, edit only his/her own entries?

Hi,
How to set up my list/form so when a user submits his/her own entries, they can only see and edit their own and wont be able to see others.

The only people able of seeing and editing everything must be an administrator, or super user.

Thanks, Indrit

See= prefilter http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.ph...#show-records-belonging-to-the-logged-on-user
Edit= list access "edit record"=admin "or use field"=userid field

Here is what I did

Access --> Public
View records --> Registered
Edit records --> Special
or use field --> user
Add records --> Registered
Delete records --> Registered
or use field
Empty records --> Registered
Menu Access Only (did not touch this one, because I don't really understand what it does)

So.., does this type of access set-up will give me what I asked for?

Thanks, Indrit

I don't think you want to give delete and empty access to "Registered" so any logged-in user can delete any record and - worse - can empty the complete table.

With "View list" = "public" anybody (also guests) can see the list.

You should dig a bit into Joomla's user/usergroup/accesslevel handling.

If you want to " ...they can only see and edit their own and wont be able to see others..." you need also a list prefilter.

so I changed everything back to default as listed below:
Access --> Public
View records --> Public
Edit records --> Public
or use field --> - -
Add records --> Public
Delete records --> Public
or use field ---
Empty records --> Public
Menu Access Only (did not touch this one, because I don't really understand what it does)


Now, as I originally asked, my goal is to have a user to only see and edit their own and wont be able to see others ...

It looks like I need a list prefilter.

How, where can I make such changes??

Thanks, Indrit

eehm
with Public access you'll open your data completely to public, including the possibility not only to view and edit but also to delete everything.
