Hi Everybody, I searched the web already but doesnt get an idea what I am doing wrong since I am a SharePoint noob. We are currently running Windows Server 2003 R2 with SharePoint Services 3.0 SP2 and I am just playing with the User Management in order to get the clue of it. My problem: 1. I want to have students in the company assigned read-only (Visitor Group Member or direct custom Persmission Level) 2. The student works in a team to which a document library is assigned to. 3. On a particular folder I added this student with Contribute Permission Level. 4. This document library is set to versioning & content approval with the (Only users who can approve items (and the author of the item)) option selected. 5. The student can contribute to this particular folder only. This all works fine. But after he checked in the new document as draft minor version 0.1 he cannot see his own document although he is the author with contributes rights (only on this level). Or did I something wrong? It´s confusing me :) Any links explaining fine granulate permission control over groups > roles > individual would be helpful that covers such a scenario. Thanx in advance! BR Martin

Hi, According to your post I had tested it, but I got different result. “But after he checked in the new document as draft minor version 0.1 he cannot see his own document although he is the author with contributes rights (only on this level).” He can check in the new document, he must be having the view document permission. It’s impossible you can’t view his own document. Can you check this draft document(not this document) which author is him? Hope this helps Thanks! Stanfford

Hi Stanfford, thx for tipp. It was my fault. I only signed in as different user not recognizing that the word document doesn´t reflect this. It tested it and it works fine. Thank you! Best Regards Martin
