Restricted get latest

On Teamsite 5.5.2 - Win 2000, we want a setup, where "Get latest" only returns those directories the person who performs the action has access to.

Has anyone done this?

Is it possible at all?

I don't believe this is possible - but if you use the submit.cfg file properly you shouldn't have to worry about it because the files and directories that the users in that workarea do not have access to they still won't. Also, remember that these are just virtual copies in the workarea (until you edit one) - so you're not paying disk space costs for fully populating the workarea.

That sounds like a good reason for breaking up your content body into multiple branches.

If that's not an option, though, you can do the submit.cfg dance like fish mentioned--- that gets administratively confusing though, if you have a lot of hands in the cookie jar.

I don't recommend doing this.
But you can write a highliy customise get latest (iwupdate) CGI script that will perform CLT getlatest based on the login user.
i.e. you also have a access mapping file that tell you who can perform get latest on which directories/files (in which branch, etc).

my two cents.
