This did the task for me, as i wanted (authenticated)users to be able to add certain content-type nodes, but only edit their own stuff, unlike CCK "Content Permissions" where "edit" field means 'create and edit anyone's stuff'.
It took me a bit of testing to find how to establish the system i wanted, but basically, after installing the module (following markus' directions):
Create * (edit on node creation).
Edit * regardless of node author.
Edit own * on node created by the user.
View *, regardless of node author.
View own * on node created by the user.
As you recognize the consequences of this fine-tuning, you'll know which Field_Permissions you should 'check' within each Content-type - you won't need such a fine-grained approach in many Content-Types, eliminating all the extra radio buttons in User Management/Permissions.
NOTE: unless you're expert, try this on just one Content-type first --- if you have lots of fields, you don't want to go back and re-edit all those fields again.
many, many, thanks markus!
This is the most comprehensive module I have come across so far for handling field permissions. I had a content type with about 15 CCK fields, I wanted to reduce the form to only about four fields during creation but display all the fields when editing an already created content. This is the only module that helped me to achieve that.
Many thanks to markus_petrux for this generous donation.
