Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I'm just starting to familiarize myself with Bean. Thanks for all the hard work that's gone into making it what it is. So far as i can tell, the specific functionality i'm looking for doesn't seem to exist, so my request is this:
Would it be possible to create additional permissions which create more user-editing options, similar to the way content-type permissions work? For example, instead of simply:
- MyBeanType: add Bean
- MyBeanType: Edit Bean
- MyBeanType: View Bean
- MyBeanType: delete Bean
doing something more like:
- MyBeanType: Add Bean
- MyBeanType: Edit own Bean
- MyBeanType: Edit any Bean
- MyBeanType: Delete own Bean
- MyBeanType: Delete any Bean
Thanks again for the great module!

stephen Piscura CreditAttribution: stephen Piscura commentedAh, makes sense. Well, in my case, i have specific fields added to a bean-type. I want to assign editing privileges to users with varying roles, but it would be kind of mess to give these users the ability to edit any beans of this type. In the meantime, what i'll have to do is create bean-types with identical fields, but different names in order to protect each user's content. Not ideal, but it can work.
It may be that my use-case is similar to others', for whatever it's worth. In any case, thanks again for this innovate, needed module.
