Allowing only page authors to edit their pages

Permalink
Is there a way to do this through advanced permissions? I see other threads mentioning that this functionality does or did exist, just wondering how to implement it.

Currently a user group has access to create and edit pages within a directory, however I need to prevent users from edit eachother's pages and only let them edit what they've created.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

I have a site that does this. I have each user have a unique group since each user can only edit one page (mostly). Then just assign the page ownership to a specific group which contains that user. See the sitemap pages "set permissions" to specify who can edit a page.

Thanks for the reply, but I was hoping there would be some setting that would allow these permissions to fall into place automatically once a user registers and is added to a group of similar users.

Any other options?

Not that I have heard.

Its mostly just advanced permissions and user groups where the admin has to assign each user to their group.

It would be a nice feature though...

How do you change page ownership?!

Did you automate the group creation, user assignment, and page permissions for this set-up or are you handling all three manually?
