I found this script from Raffaelj’s very useful site.  
[https://github.com/raffaelj/cockpit-scripts/blob/master/permissions/restrict-content-to-owner-and-disallow-editing-published-entries.php](https://github.com/raffaelj/cockpit-scripts/blob/master/permissions/restrict-content-to-owner-and-disallow-editing-published-entries.php)

It seems that this is the right way to isolate data.  
I also found something about separation of private assets  
[https://discourse.getcockpit.com/t/private-assets-per-user/1560/3](https://discourse.getcockpit.com/t/private-assets-per-user/1560/3)

This is basically what I’m looking for.

Are there maybe more complete scripts or addons that can solve this,  
or do I have to fix scripts in various places to achieve this.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I’m trying to learn cockpit from scratch.

When I use the backend to store permissions for colletions, they all are red,  
and when I configure them to green, after saving they’re back to red again.  
So I’m very unsure how and if the permissions shall be handled correctly.  
Do I have to set all CRUD permissions in the group definiton file, I use YAML ?

Maybe someone could point me to the latest solution for such use case.  
Do I look into the right direction ?
