Hi folks,
I'm experimenting with Drupal as a possible fiction archive, and I'm interested in offering the option of creating story series. However, just as every story can only be edited by its owner, I'd like to ensure that stories can only be added to series created by the same owner.
My experience with both the Book and Node Hierarchy modules is that these don't offer restrictions on a per-user basis. When selecting a parent node for their story, users should only be able to see those 'series' nodes they themselves created.
Anyone know of an option to achieve this?

Perhaps the best way to describe this would be the addition of a new permission:
"Add content to own books."
And maybe additionally:
"Administer own book outlines"
Any thoughts?

I still haven't found a viable solution. The core book module's functionality is perfect, except that it allows any user to add pages to any book, without offering the option to allow them to add pages only to books that they created.
Could I be missing something?
Did you ever find a solution
Did you ever find a solution to this issue? If so, I'd love to hear it!
Something similar
I have set up something similar using OG and books. I create a book and assign an audience by means of a group. his means only that group can see the book. Then I use the OG book inheritance module so that any children - pages in the book inherit the group settings of the parent. In this way you can have books that belong to groups and only members of that group can see the book and its contents.
The book access module may also help.
