Is there a way to give users access to only certain collections? That would be awesome.

This addon allows you to do so: [https://github.com/serjoscha87/cockpit\_GROUPS](https://github.com/serjoscha87/cockpit_GROUPS)

After installation your collection editor view will look like this withunder the permission tab:

you can see all groups added to the system and set up who has access to this collection

You just need to set up groups for the users (this can be done with this addon too)
