Hi

I'm new to Drupal and I'm trying to do what should be a simple thing but I can't seem to get it to work at all.

I want user's to be able to create books and book content but only add pages to their own books and edit their own book pages. I want all user's to only be able to view books from other user's.

At the moment I can only get it so that user's can either add pages to ALL books or else NO books.
How can I restrict the book permissions so that user's can only add content to their own books but everybody else can still view them?
Basically I want all books to be read-only unless you're the author of the book.

Cheers In Advance.

>> Create a role named say book creators .assign this role to users. then give create book permission

but only add pages to their own books and edit their own book pages. I want all user's to only be able to view books from other user's

Hi Vinayakg

Thanks for your reply, but if I choose that configuration, I can't add my book pages to any books.
Which means I can't actually create my own books.
I'm going to try the Book Manger module and see if that can help me.

Cheers
