Can I restrict a specific member to editing only one channel entry?

    Greetings!

    I’m investigating EE2 for a new project and there’s one functional hurdle I’m trying to figure out before I commit to either EE or a custom CodeIgniter build. Is it possible to allow a specific member access to edit only one channel entry?

    What I’m attempting to achieve is this: Certain invited users can register on the site as a member and then (once approved, etc) can log in and create/edit their own profile in the form of an entry with lots of custom fields within a channel. The profiles are then searchable and viewable by any front-end user.

    Is this possible or is there a simpler way to achieve this? One important piece is that each profile will contain many custom fields and must also be able to have up to 3 uploaded images.

    Any comments, thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi davidhyland,

    Sounds like you’d want to use a Stand Alone Entry Form for that. SafeCracker is a more advanced SAEF that might be better suited since you’re going to be adding a lot of entries that way.

    I think that will get you going. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    No problem, davidhyland. I’ll go ahead and close this but don’t hesitate to start a new thread.
