If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I think the easiest way to do this, is to use a seperate topic for each row - sort of like the Bugs system we have, to control the permissions based on creator, and for the edit button for each row edit that topic.

Locking down individual rows is possible with a TWikiForms based TWikiApplication as Sven pointed out. Nevertheless, from a collaboration perspective it is best to avoid access control where possible. SoftSecurity is taking care of perceived issues of not locking down content. See also TWikiAccessControl

Example TWikiForms based applicatons:

• TWikiInstallation directory
• ItemToDo
• ChangeRequest

For simple applications you can use the EditTablePlugin. To track items you can use the ActionTrackerPlugin.
