Ideas for Arc XP

Need Permission that would limit a user's access to only the stories that they created themselves (Freelancer access)

We would like to give our regular freelance contributors limited access to Composer, but we cannot currently do this, as the Composer permission structure cannot prevent them from seeing all of the other stories in Composer, something that we cannot allow.

What is needed is a way to limit a user's access to content in Composer to content that they had created themselves, including only allowing them to see content they created themselves in Composer search. We would then only give them create, view and edit permissions, which would then be limited to their own stories.

This is something that we have long needed, but the need has increased during the current COViD-19 pandemic, where our staff is more taxed than ever, Having this capability would save dozens of hours of work per week for editors on desks that make heavy use of non-staff authored content

    We shipped the individual contributor (freelancer) permission earlier this year!

    Hello. We also need to give our regular freelance contributors limited access to Composer. We do not want them to see all stories in Composer. They just need to see stories they had created themselves in Composer.
