Reviewer Edit / Rights not working properly?

[Gina]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup the Rights File in Contributor to allow for submitting and rejecting, but we don't want the people who are actually submitting to be able to Edit.  I've turned off Reviewer Edit and had the rights to Submit, but the Submit & Reject buttons are no longer available.  If I turn the Reviewer Edit option back on, then the submit & Reject buttons are available, but they are also able to edit the data. 

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? 
Thank you!
Gina

Hi Gina

If you want your user to be able to submit in combination with preventing them to edit on one specific elist on the lowest level (leaf) there is no way of doing this by system standard settings (without building workarounds).

If you want your user to be able to submit in combination with preventing them from being able to also edit on all elist items on the lowest level below one hierarchy item (leaf)

• the user needs to be a reviewer (or even submitter) on the hierarchy element.
• the hierarchy element need to have elist settings set to 'reviewer level = 1' (or higher / all).
• the option 'allow reviewer edit' must be disabled.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the post, but it's still not working.  I'm using contributor 8.1.  I've tried multiple different combinations and can't seem to get this to work properly.  If I turn Reviewer Edit off, there's no ownership, can't take ownership, and still no submit button.  Doesn't seem to matter what I assign in the Rights (Submit / Review).  With Reviewer Edit turned on, the hierarchial item still doesn't have a submit button, but is read only, but all the elist items are editable.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in the security structure or if this is truly how it works! 
Thank you!
Gina.

are you trying to take ownership at parent node?

It works the same at every level.

Sorry, I still don't really understand the exact case. Let me recap what you're trying to do:

Role	Element	Right
User	eList item (lowest level)	Allow Edit Allow Submit
Reviewer	eList item (lowest level)	Permit Edit Allow Reject/Sumbit
Reviewer	eList hierarchy (next level)	View only or Allow Submit

Is that correct?

Thanks for your help.  You actually did answer my question in your first response.  I'm trying to do something that isn't possible.  I'm just learning how to setup the security and it's been trial and error... I think (hope) I've got it now!   :)
