    I have a case where I have a Member Group called Judges. The ultimate task of the judges is to score an entry under 1 or more of 6 criteria.

    The problem I have is that different judges will be assigned to 1 or more different criteria, depending on their speciality. Rather than having 6 different member groups, I wanted to know if using Member Categories (I’m using Solspace User so am able to apply categories to members), would allow me to determine which criteria they’re able to enter/edit when viewing an entry?

    The other part of the problem, is that I wish to restrict the viewing of comments to the users criteria as well. So if say there are two people judging a criteria, and both make a comment, then they can only see each others comments and not comments from those judging other criteria.

    Anyone able to offer some guidance?

    (Will also post this over on the Solspace forums)

    Thanks
    Brendan
