I have a list with two content-types. I only want the user to be able to edit or delete listitems created from only one of the content types in SharePoint 2013.
Paul,
Thanks for the feedback and suggested solution. Yor are right about permissions being associated with the items and not the content type. When I started looking at the problem, I thought there might be a way with content types to do this. However, the read-only in content types only applies to who can edit the content type.
We are avoiding Event Receivers in favor of something easier to install. The way that we handled this problem was to use a Nintex Workflow for that Content Type.
The workflow was written to handle a new item or an item modification.
Once the item is set to that content type, regular members can no longer edit the record. Until I “anded” in the additional condition to allow owners Full Control, I found myself unable to change the permissions on the item.
Thanks for your help. It’s been an interesting project using content types for conversion and regular list processing.
