Question

( Regarding Moss 2007 )

i have created a sharepoint list in which one column is called user assigned – this is a lookup column of type – people and group.

i select the users from active directory to enter this field of the list.

So different items in this list have different users assigned

I have create permissions for this list to be read and write to the users in active directory .

so that when a particular user logs in to the sharepoint website with his credentials. he has read and write access to the list.

Now is there any way available in sharepoint by which the user do not see the whole list when they login to the website . He only sees the items of the list which the user assigned field is him only.

Answer 1

If the permissions are indeed setup right, you only have to go to List Settings, Advanced Settings, Item-Level Permissions and on “Read access: Specify which items users can read” you define their own.

If the users are not the creators of the items, you need to go to List Settings, Views (at the far bottom), modify the All Items View (or w/e you have as default), go to the filter section and add a filter like: “Show items only when the following is true”, “Show the items when column” Assigned To is equal to [me]
