You may create numerous VFE configurations to reflect various users' access rights. In the DCT use <inline> Tag to get
<textarea...> on the fly. Corresponding script may then obtain user Id from 'IW_USER' Environment variable and generate
textarea Tag with the correct "external-editor-config" attribute.

What part are you having trouble with ? Customizing the VFE or making one apply to 1 person and another to a second ?

Can you please describe it more? so far i have written the following small inline script :-

function init()
{
var userRole=IWDatacapture.getRole();
if(userRole=='admin')
{
eWebEditPro.parameters.reset();
eWebEditPro.parameters.config="admin.xml";
//eWebEditPro.create("MyContent2", 700, 250);
//alert (userRole);
}
}

This code, i got from vf developer guide is not working.

I appreciate if you have an similiar example to show. Thanks

Hi All,
I followed the following steps to get solution of my problem:-

1. Created the various visual format config files corresponding to various user roles like for editor "editor.xml".

2. wrote the .ipl script

3. called this script in DCT's <inline> tag that generated the textarea item with corresponding visualformatter config file on the fly.
