    I have a system that needs to have entries assigned to multiple authors. Basically, I have a bunch of member accounts, each one has entries that belong it as well as others.

    Hard to explain. Heres the gist of the relationships.

    Member Account A
      Document 1
      Document 2

    Member Account B
      Document 2
      Document 3

    Member Account C
      Document 1
      Document 3

    Currently, a user can log in and see all entries that belong to THEM only, which is very limited since documents are shared between multiple users.

    I need to find a solution, whether it’s third party or not doesn’t matter.

    Thanks!

    My first thought would be to use http://ee-zoo.com/add-ons/visitor/ to get control of the users within channel entries. Add a channel for documents. Then for the zoo user channel, add a http://pixelandtonic.com/playa field type so you can match up the docs to each user easily.

    That’s just my first hunch. Let us know what you decide.
