I'm working in 2.4.5 in ModelAdmin. I have a number of tutors writing their own tutorials. When they enter the admin section I want them only to see their own tutorial records and not those of other tutors. How do I do that?

Disclaimer - this isn't *the* way to do it but *a* way - I'm looking to tidy in the move to SS3... With that said...

class MyAdmin extends ModelAdmin {
	static $managed_models = array('MyObject');
	static $collection_controller_class = "MyAdmin_CollectionController";
...
}

class MyAdmin_CollectionController extends ModelAdmin_CollectionController {

	function getSearchQuery($searchCriteria) {
		$query = parent::getSearchQuery($searchCriteria);

		if ($this->modelClass == 'MyObject'){
			$query->where[] = 'MyObject.MemberID='.Member::currentUserID();
		}

		return $query;
	}
}

Hope this helps

Thanks so much for your help Swaiba!

So my code should look something like this. Am I missing anything? do I need anything for $searchCriteria?

class TutorEditAdmin extends ModelAdmin {

static $managed_models = array('TutorEdit');
static $collection_controller_class = "TutorEditAdmin_CollectionController";

static $url_segment = 'tutorEdit';

}

class TutorEditAdmin_CollectionController extends ModelAdmin_CollectionController {

function getSearchQuery($searchCriteria) {
$query = parent::getSearchQuery($searchCriteria);

if ($this->modelClass == 'TutorEdit'){
$query->where[] = 'TutorEdit.MemberID='.Member::currentUserID();
}

return $query;
}
}

Looks good and no you don't need to do anymore than pass $searchCriteria to parent::getSearchQuery(); to get the $query object

You should also implement the canEdit method for your tutorial dataobject.

goo point dpde...

function canEdit () {return true;]
also canView

*maybe* canDelete

Of course canDelete too.
Something like this should work (not tested):

public function canEdit($member) {
  return (Permission::check('ADMIN') || $this->MemberID == $member->ID);
}

public function canDelete($member) {
  return (Permission::check('ADMIN') || $this->MemberID == $member->ID);
}
