Thanks Stefan

So would you recommend modyfying the Web Author console dialog boxes to only
display the channels/resource galleries that users have rights to? Our issue
is the clients who log in for authoring should not see eachothers sites.

After a quick investigation I found out that this is possible by customizing
the following pages: (We have done this as a test for the template gallery)

CMS\WebAuthor\Dialogs\ResourceBrowser\Ma
nagement\GalleriesBrowse.aspx

CMS\WebAuthor\Dialogs\PageCreationWizard
\TemplateGalleriesBrowse\TemplateGal
leriesBrowse.aspx

Server\IIS_CMS\WebAuthor\Dialogs\Interna
lLinks\

Is there any samples that I may be able to use?

many thanks

Chan
