- It's not clear whether you're trying to secure content object by object, or across the whole type. If you want to secure object by object, as part of the FarCry 5.2 CDN changes there is a new formtool to help manage object permissions. I just realised that it's only mentioned in passing in the Event hooks documentation ( http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV50/Event+hooks) in the second case study, which I will need to correct. But adding it allows an editor to quickly set the access permissions on an object. The catch is that at the moment it doesn't check to see if the user has the ManagePermissions permission.
- Unfortunately the verity plugin documentation is pretty bad ( http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCPLUG/FarCry+Verity) which is why we don't advertise it. There is a function you can add to your content type, contentToIndex, which should return a query of objectids. This query defines what objects should be indexed.
