Thanks alot for those useful tutorials. I have a question conserning the sharepoint permissions; Q) After creating a group of "promotors", I want them to full in an excel sheet of what they sold (brand name, price, quantity, etc...) but I want their permission to only see and edit their filed, and me as an administrator to see and edit all of it obviously. So is it possible to do such a thing with sharepoint? waiting your answer with patience. thanks.....with all respect

@mkatmeh Two questions: What version of SharePoint are you using, and do the users have to use Excel? I'm right in the middle of a project currently but I'll try to get you your answer asap. Thank's for viewing and feel free to join our channel if you want to get updates! - Leo

@sharepointpittsburgh I am using sharepoint 2010. users can use excel (prefered), but they can use anything else that meet our requirements, I was thinking about this as a database. I would really love to know your point of view and advices.- Katmeh

@mkatmeh There's a few ways to do this and some ways are better than others. Assuming we're working with excel documents in a document library, here are three different ways to accomplish your task. The order is from easiest to hardest with the best way IMO is also the hardest.

1. In your document library, require content approval, enable major and minor drafts, and only allow users and creators to view the drafts. You will have to keep the documents in draft format, but this is a quick fix.

2. Use SharePoint Designer to create a custom workflow.

3. Create the permissions programatically.

@mkatmeh Let me know how that goes. If you need help with 2. or 3. maybe I get make a video on those methods as soon as we're done with the Office Software Integration videos. Good luck!
