Enable List Edit only for few fields

[GokavarapuS2337]

Hello Guys, Hope you are doing well

Here's the requirement:

On kb_knowledge table -> List Editing is disabled in List Control

I have a group X. I want the members of this group to edit fields from the list.

I want the group members only to edit few selected fields (short description, category etc)...not all the fields

Achieved Solution:

1. I have enabled list editing from the List Control

2. Written a field level "list_edit" ACL where i added this group condition.

This is working as expected. Only the group X members were able to edit from the list.

The problem is I need to allow list for around 10 fields. 
Do i need to create 10 ACL's?

Any alternatives or best approches?

Appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

Hi @Chaitanya ILCR ,

Thanks for the response.

I too feel ACL's are best for this.

 Client scripts will be too complex and not good (dumb 😂) as we need to create one for each field.

BR is not scalable compared to ACL.

Can you please let me know how to work the solution with ACL's

I will create 10 ACL's with list_edit operation.

This will allow me to edit those 10 fields.

How to i restrict the remaining fields?

How to write the ACL for this? Which operation to use? If possible please explain in detail

Hi @GokavarapuS2337 ,

1.create a table.none list edit acl (give access)

2.create a table.* with list edit acl ( give only access to admin)

3. create 10 acls for 10 fields ( with the logic to check if user is part of the group or not and give access)

12 ACLs in total

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
