Hi,

I am using Alfresco 5.2.0 and have a custom content model deployed in it.

I want to define permissions to access Custom Content type for specific groups. (groups created by admin with Group Manager in Admin Tools).
By this a group can have read, Create or View permission on specific Custom Content Type.
How can I accomplish this ?

Thanks In Advance...!!!

Hello!

Maybe this question have more elegant answer, but I'd try to solve this by custom folder rule. The easy way to make this would be:

1. write your .js script, which will be:
   1. check type of created node (JS API has function .getTypeShort() for this);
   2. if type = your custom type:
      1. disable inheritance .setInheritsPermissions(false); to avoid conflits besides your custom permissions and default Alfresco permissions. Maybe you have to disable permissions for some default .removePermission();
      2. set custom permissions by function .setPermission(); to your custom groups;
2.  drop it in /companyhome/Data Dictionary/Scripts
3. go to space (folder) there will be document of this type created;
4. click "manage rules";
5. Perform Action: execute script -> pick your script from the list
