Hi,

I need a custom role that can Post & Reply topics in Site forum, but he should have consumer permission in other pages like Document Library and Datalists.

I tried Following code

permissionDefinitions.xml

.
.
.
<permissionSet type="sys:base" expose="all" >
.
.
.
        <!– The permission to create new nodes                                            –>
      
      <permission name="_CreateChildren" expose="false" >
         <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="CreateChildren" />
       <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="CreatePost" type="fm:post"/>
       <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="CreateTopic" type="fm:topic" />
         <!– Commented out parent permission check …
         <requiredPermission on="parent" name="_ReadChildren" implies="false" />
         –>
      </permission>
      
      <!– The permission to link nodes                                                  –>
      
      <permission name="_LinkChildren" expose="false" >
         <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="LinkChildren" />
        <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="CreatePost" type="fm:post"/>
       <grantedToGroup permissionGroup="CreateTopic" type="fm:topic" />
         <!– Commented out parent permission check …
         <requiredPermission on="parent" name="_ReadChildren" implies="false"/>
         –>
      </permission>

I am getting permission to add Children in Forum but also getting permission to add Children in Document Library.

Can anyone please tell me how can restrict the user to Post only in Forums not in Document Library through Roles.

I can do this by manual manage permissions on Group. I want to implement this through Roles.

Thanks in Advance.
