Hi sureshy2015

One of the approach could be, creating of costume component for assets uploading/Downloading.

// Pre-requisite

Create a Data Structure listing all the custom permission for all users.

eg.  User ID       Mod_Edit

        aaaa           1

        bbbb           0

This component will check if user has particular permission or not, and behave accordingly.

Reference Link:-  https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/developing-aem-osgi-bundles-jackrabbit.html (User Manager API)

Reference Link:- https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/uploading-files-aem1.html (Custom Component for uploading of images, you need to create a logic according to your needs).

 

This way of doing the work will not allow user to edit the assets using this components, but they may edit it using other components (So create a templates having this component only).

 

I hope this will help you. I hope i am not missing on something.

 

Thanks and Regards

you should give read, create and modify for /content/dam

but give only read, create for your project specific folder under dam. ex: /content/dam/<project> .
