I am very new to Sitecore, and have to customize a Template for a MultiLine Entry to have different source (List of Items) depending on the Role of the Logged-In Admin. For example the site can have multiple different Admins and each one can add/remove data for a of the page section, so

The content for MultiList of Website-1 (Edited by Admin-1) will be different from Website-2(Edited by Admin-2). So the data for Admin-1 and Admin-2 is at the following locations:

Admin-1: sitecore/content/Data/Features/Admin-1
Admin-2: sitecore/content/Data/Features/Admin-2

Now for the Source part of the Template, I can enter the path for the data: ex-/sitecore/content/Data/Features/ and that will include all of the Items in that folder including both subfolders of “Admin-1” and “Admin-2”, but what I really want is when the Admin-1 logs I want the list to be populated only with “Admin-1” content, and vice versa. Is that even possible? I am not sure what to do about that.

    Ok, your question was a little ambiguous hence the reason I asked the question.

    your data structure is currently a little incorrect in my opinion. I would set it up as follows:

    -sitecore

    –content

    —common (shared between both sites)

    —site-1

    —-home

    —-settings

    —-data

    —site-2

    —-home

    —-settings

    —-data

    Now in your template set the datasource as:

    query:./ancestor-or-self::*[@@templatename='Site']/data/features/*

    This will restrict the options for your multilist to only items in the data folder of the current site. Obviously change @@templatename to whatever yours is.

    As for the permissions, you should create 2 roles, Admin-1 and Admin-2. For both roles break the inheritance on /sitecore/content node and then give Admin-1 read/write/create/delete access on /sitecore/content/site-1 and Admin-2 the same on Site-2. Make sure you do this for roles. Then add the necessary users to those roles. If a specific user needs access to both sites then add them to both roles. Use /Security Tools/Security Editor.

    I would not call the roles “admin” since that can lead to confusion between the Sitecore Admin setting. Instead, I would call it “Site1ContentEditer” and “Site2ContentEditer”. If you introduce workflow this gives you the opportunity to follow the naming convention, e.g. Site1ContentApprover, Site1ContentPublisher etc.

    I’m a little rushed right now, but let me know if you need more info.

    EDIT: This should give you more info on multisite implementation: Building multisite solutions in Sitecore
