Task and ACL
Vadim_Tchebotarev_(ebuild01user1_-_(deleted))
Hello All.We are currently running Livelink 8.1.5.At least in this version ACL applies only to task list, and there is no way to manage permissions of contained objects individually (say one cannot have two tasks under the same task list with different ACL for two different users). What is the underlying reason for such limitation ? Can this behavior be altered through modifying modules ? Did anybody have similar need ?I think that it is pretty generic requirement for task list to have multiple tasks assigned to different users so they could modify their own tasks and at the same time had read-only to each others. Currently LL cannot handle this scenario.Any input is greatly appreciated.Vadim TchebotareveBuild.ca Inc.P.S. I did post already that question accidentally to the wrong topic. I appologize to folks who had to read it twice.

HelloI don't know if I'm going to be ot any help but here we go:(This is for Livelink 9.5, I think it is the same on this respect)First of all, I don't know the reason why task lists are designed this way, but one can only assign tasks to users who have write permissions to the list. You can change anything you want in livelink, but I think this would take too much time.For my needs I have created a workarround by creating a custom onbject, which inherrits from the task-list object, and modyfying the html which displays the task.I have made it so that users cannot see the tasks which are not assigned to them of their group. If you think this fits your needs I can send some code, but you must realise that this is only visual hack. If one had the url for the task, he wouldn't be prevented from seeing it!Yiannos
