<br>
Thanks so much for your replies.<br>
<br>
I understand that this is not so straight forward to solve.
Especially since I think that RW permissions on all Data is not the
most desirable thing, it would be better if that's just for figures.
Combined with a "lock" function, this could work.<br>
<br>
Maybe as another option, Niko suggested that using the RA
permissions, people could still work on separate copies of a figure.
However, they could be notified if someone has an updated version of
this figure stored with his account (like a "fork"), so they could
be allowed to download it and work on that updated version instead.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Kai<br>

Hi Kai,
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Thanks for the suggestion (and Sebastien for replying).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As Sebastien says, you'd need to be in a Read-Write group to
allow multiple users to edit the same figure.</div>
<div>This might be a problem if you don't want read-write
permissions on ALL other data in the group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another issue is how to allow different users to edit the
same file without potentially </div>
<div>overwriting each other's changes.</div>
<div>OMERO.figure doesn't support google-docs style of editing
(where every change is atomic and the diff is</div>
<div>saved to the server).</div>
<div>Instead, the whole file is saved each time, so if 2 users
were editing a figure at the same time,</div>
<div>there's no way to merge both their changes.</div>
<div>You'd need a "lock" on the file to tell you that another user
was currently editing and ensure that</div>
<div>only 1 user edits at a time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I guess something like a simple "lock" shouldn't be too hard
to implement, so the main question</div>
<div>is still the issue of Read-Write permissions on figures, IF
you don't want Read-Write permissions</div>
<div>on all your other data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Cheers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Will.</div>

Hi Kai
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">as always, thanks for the feedback. I had a
quick go at it and it seems this</div>
<div class="">functionality is not available at the
moment.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, it seems to me it should be
possible to use the new Read-Write group</div>
<div class="">system introduced in 5.1.2 where members of
the same group can edit an annotation</div>
<div class="">to introduce the full collaborative mode you
are describing.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Will is currently on leave but I opened a
GitHub issue [1] to track your suggestion.</div>
<div class="">We can discuss it when he comes back and get
back to you.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
<div class="">Sebastien</div>
