Users can create a listing in a portal site area, but they cannot delete or modify the listing in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

CAUSE

In SharePoint Portal Server 2003, this permission does not let a user delete or modify a listing in an area when that user created the listing. By design, SharePoint Portal Server 2003 works this way.

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, delegate content management of the area to some users. When you do this, some users can modify or delete listings in the area. The other users cannot modify or delete listings.
• Assign the following permission to users if you want the users to modify or to delete content:
View, insert, edit, delete listings; change area and list settings
These users can then add, modify, or delete listings in that area. These users can also change area and list settings.
• Assign the following permission to users if you do not want the users to modify or to delete content:
View, insert, edit, delete listings

These users can add listings to an area but cannot modify or delete listings that they add. To configure permissions for an area on the portal site, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the area of the portal site, and then click Manage Security.
2. Do one or both of the following, depending on your situation:
• To modify the settings for a user or a group that is already added to the area, click to select the check box next to that user or that group. Then, click Edit. Click the permission that you want to assign to the user or the group, and then click OK.

• To add a new user or a new group to the area, click New User. Specify the name of the user or of the group that you want to add in the Users and groups box. Click the permission that you want to assign to the user or the group. Then, click OK.
3. Verify that the user or the group appears in the Manage Security Settings for Area AreaName page.
