Customizing Your Microsoft SharePoint List Items for Specific Users
Ishai Sagi brings us another SharePoint tip in, “Setting Item Permissions for New Items.” At the SharePoint Tips and Tricks Blog, Sagi provides code that makes your SharePoint list only show items to the users who wrote the items, and users specified in the item’s properties. Sagi explains that the solution came about because it is a common question he gets at SharePoint conferences.
A good example of this is a task list where only the original creator of the task and the assignee can see and change the task. This is impossible to do in SharePoint out of the box, and that is where we, as developers, come in. The way to do it is by developing a simple event handler and attaching it to the list.
The provided code is a good start, but you will need to add error handling and make some other minor adjustments for your specific system.
Consider a third party solution to really customize and extend the capabilities of your SharePoint system. A complete solution, like the Semaphore Content Intelligence Platform from Smartlogic, streamlines your processes and adds rich value to your business information.
