Hi
I am been looking at the different permissions and I am wondering is it possible to restrict what a person can add?
I just see "add Item" and this seems to allow a user to add anything. Weere I want some users to be only able to add a "page" were other users can add a "page" and a "category"
Just a thought. If we go to the root site -> site settings -> Site permissions. you will be listed with site permissions of the site. Clicking on settings of the list, you get Permission levels, where you can add a new permission level.
In your case, there can be 2 permission levels created - one which allows adding items to lists and other which allows adding pages. These permissions can be used while creating users or groups to assign permissions.
Hope this helps.
Add an event receiver to the list, and if they try to add something of the wrong content type, cancel the add in the event receiver.

I'm working on requirement, where we have a list with categories we want to maintain list own our own. we want others to restrict from add/ delete/modify, only we want to do that.
Is it possible to do it in SharePoint?
Yes. You can stop inheriting permissions from the site in the list and assign unique permissions to the users.
Go to List sttings > Permissions for this list.
Click Stop Inheriting Permissions in the ribbon > Slect all existing groups and users > Remove User Permissions > Grant full control Permissions to specific users and grant read permission to other users.
I have a SharePoint Site where I created a List and I want to give read and add access to this list only to a limited group of people.
First I created in the SP site the List "ListX"
In the ListX settings I went to list permissions and I stopped inheriting permissions from the site and I created unique permissions
On the site advanced permission settings I created a new permission level "Add and View Only" where I selected the following options:
On the list permissions section
(a) Add Items - Add items to lists and add documents to document libraries
(b) View Items - View items in lists and documents in document libraries
The moment I selected those two options the following options have been automatically selected for me on the site permissions section:
(a) View Pages - View pages in a Web site
(b) Open - Allows users to open a Web site, list, or folder in order to access items inside that container
Then on the site permission I created a SharePoint group "ListX Users" and I gave the permission level "Add and View Only"
Then I added several users in the SP group "ListX Users"
Then I granted permissions on the ListX permissions to the "ListX Users" SP group
However the user gets the message "Sorry you don't have access" when they try to go to the top level of the site so that they can click on the ListX link and they are prompted to request access.
Any idea why that happens and how to give such Add and View access to the ListX only? Thanks
Best (and easiest) imo is to work down. Give them permissions on site level and break inheritance on each library that shouldn't be visible for everyone.
That way the navigation is the easiest and for maintenance has the easiest overview.
I partially solved my issue by adding two more options in the List permissions permission levels of "Add and View Only". See below.
Open Items - View the source of documents with server-side file handlers
View Application Pages - View forms, views, and application pages. Enumerate lists
However in this case the user need to have a direct link to the list and cannot navigate via the site.
How to create a SharePoint permission that will only allow users to add items but no modify and delete access?
This will help me to secure all the data or information that the user input to SharePoint list.
With SharePoint default policies you can not restrict user. You have to create your own policy first. Follow below steps to create your own policy.
Go to site settings -> site permissions.
From ribbon click on permission levels.
click on "Add a new permission level".
Provide name and In list permission select "add permission" check box. click Create.
Now create group with this new permission policy and add appropriate user in it.
Go to your list -> list settings -> Permission for this list. Stop inheriting permission. Remove unwanted groups from there and add the new group you have created.
Now your users have only add permission in this list.
I'm testing Pimcore right now, to see if it's a good fit for our company.
I was wondering if there is a way to give a user specific rights, like an author only being able to make content and edit his own content?
Yes you can provide user or role based permission to documents, assets or objects. Click here to see the screenshot of the user screen
Steps are as follows -
Go to settings -> User
Click on the specific user on which you want add some permissions.
On the right screen part go to the workflow tab.
Click on the add button present near Document title if you want to add permissions on documents. Same can be done on Assets and on Objects
Drag and drop documents on which you want to allow permissions.
Check the boxes if you want to allow user to publish, unpublish, delete etc.
Save
Same can be done on roles as well. If you want same set of permissions on couple of users then you can make a specific role, assign the desired permissions and then assign that role to multiple users.
I have a SharePoint list that is populated via an InfoPath form. There are two groups of people who have access to the form: end users and owners. While I don't have any issue with assingning permissions to owners, for the end users, this proposition has been tricky.
My requirement is such that - the end users should be able to:
Add new items to the list via InfoPath form
Not interact with the list in any other way
Now if I give the end users contribute permission to the list, they will be able to view and edit other list items in the list (which is the function of owners only). But if I don't give the end users contribute permission, they cannot add to the list. Is this a real catch-22 or am I spawning this out of my ignorance?
How about using a custom web service that performs the task of inserting items. But the real query is - would you want them to view the items as well?
If yes, you can give the view permissions on the list to your end users and addition via your InfoPath form, which would essentially call a web service and execute the code to submit items with correct privileges.

Go to site collection level >> Site Settings >> Site Permissions (under Users and Permissions) >> Permission Levels (under Manage section) >> Add Permission Level.
In this page, find List Permissions in Permissions section. Check "Add Items".
Create a group that you need and give it the Add Items permissions. Add all the users to this group who should only be able to add to the list and not edit it. Give the list unique permission (don't inherit form the parent). Then add the group to the list.
