MOSS 2007: I just realized that I, as the SharePoint Admin, am the only user who is able to see the "Create" button in lists. That's good, but I would like to allow my users to create their own surveys. How can I accomplish this without allowing them to create calendars, etc.? Thanks.

You could create a custom list where the user enters the name of the survey they need to create alongwith any other relevant information. Once they save that list item a custom workflow executes and 1) creates a blank survey 2) assigns design permissions to the user on that survey and sends them an email saying that the survey is now available for them to modify/add questions.

I like this idea, Neville, but I need some assistance. I created a Custom List. I'm not sure of the next steps to take. I appreciate your help.

Hi Hemendra. I need a bit more help with this. What do you mean by "use sharepoint object model?" I am not a programmer, unfortunately. I can follow direction, though. Can you be more specific? Thank you.

If you have Visual studio and MOSS in your machine then you can easily do it. First install these products afterward my approach will help you. You can also follow neville steps.Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS
