Easiest Method to restrict IDs to current BE User ONLY

[thyon]

I have a module that will list property entries. I want to restrict it so that when a BE user logs in, they can only see the entries author'd by them and when they create new entries to be them as the author automatically.

I can add an author field (similar to News), but then where do I add the code, and HOW do I restrict the listing, as it's controlled in the DC_Table.php? I think I can do a eval=>(root => array(1,10,16)) override, right? Retrieving the permission IDs (in an onload_callback)

Then I just have to force the Author field to be the current user ID only (if not admin).

Hey thyon, I think this might be helpful (not sure if I got your point though, got some problems with it lately):
[code=php:2sqxpd4j]<span class="syntaxdefault">

Kewl. I forgot about the new filter. That is by far the coolest addition yet. Then I can just remove that DCA element for admins.
