For what it's worth we see this all the time. (Some) people can edit content or remove it from view (effectively "deleting it"), but only a select very few people can actually delete content. This is due, in our case, to SOX laws and accountability: you can't delete any content (EVER!) unless that content has been fully reviewed by legal first. In practice this means that content is essentially never deleted (although we sometimes delete content that never actually made it to the public site for some reason). In case it's not clear this also means that all content management must be source controlled and we must be able to "show the content as it appeared publically at any point in its lifetime". The Law... it's a bitch. > Also i have a current need at a radio station to allow the sports > people to work on the sports part of the site, but not touch the > programming pages.

It would be (literally) criminal to allow one broker to edit the content of another's (a competitor's) site. I don't have any real suggestions... just commiserating that these situations do exist. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307641 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
