Document and Process ACLs: How to allow only doc owner to start a workflow with the doc?

It's probably pretty simple to do this, but I'm unable to make it work properly...

Example:

User "Homer" is a member of group "Simpsons".

The "Simpsons" group has Read access for document type "simpson_doc".

The process "goDoSomething" can be run by any member of group "Simpsons".

Only the owner of a "simpson_doc" should have permission to start "goDoSomething" with the document.

How do the ACLs need to be set up on the Document and Process to allow all "Simpons" to Read Homer's document, but only allow Homer to submit the document to "goDoSomething"?

I've tried different combinations, but no luck... it's all or nothing.

Thank you for any advice.

Thinking about the document I don't think that is possible, since Homer is only referred in the ACL by the Simpsons group, the only way would be to put him in another group who has the correct permission to start the process, or put him directly into the ACL.

If you can put different permission on the process, you can put READ for Simpsons group, so they can participate in the process, and put RELATE to Homer, so he can start the process. But again, you will not be able to differentiate them if they are into the same group and there is no other group with Homer, or if he's not directly into the process ACL.

requires customisation. You can not change the ACL of the workflow template or it will effect running instances.

Here's a workaround:

Give everyone in Simpsons ability to start the WF; however, in the first activity of WF, check to see if the workflow supervisor (which is defaulted to the person who started the WF) is the document owner. If not, goto end of the workflow. If so, carry out original process.
