    I haven’t done any thorough testing, but is there an EE safeguard which prevents someone from editing an EE entry via SAEF and changing the entry_id?  My fear is that I allow a user group to edit certain entries and someone becomes malicious and changes an entry_id which overrides another entry.  Does the XID play a role in verifying that the entry submitted is the same one which has been requested to edit?  I’m sure it’s not a huge threat as most people don’t care or are aware that certain tools can allow you to display and edit hidden field values.

    you have to give them permission to edit only their own entries in the weblog. (admin -> members & groups -> member groups -> edit group -> weblog posting privs)
