- 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.
