I'm trying to allow the user to edit their own list item in Sharepoint Foundation 2010,

  1. Open the list that you want to configure.
  2. On the Settings menu, click List Settings.
  3. On the Customize page, in the General Settings column, click Advanced settings.
  4. On the List Advanced Settings page, in the Item-level Permissions section

On my particular list this setting is missing, so I opened a powershell window to do the equivalent

$web = Get-SPWeb YourSite/
$list = $web.Lists["List name"]
$list.WriteSecurity
1
$list.WriteSecurity = 2
$list.Update()
$list.WriteSecurity
1

It does not change to 2 and there is no error. There must be something about this list that makes it different, but I can't find out what it is.

  • what list template are you using? different list templates have different capabilities – Vladi Gubler Jun 06 '12 at 20:19
  • Ah, yes. It is the basetemplate called 'Issue Tracking', basetype 'Issue'. I see now that the Generic List types can be modified to writesecurity=2 no problem. – Jon Jun 07 '12 at 17:00
  • Seems like an odd 'capability' to take away. I expect the only way to enable the capability is to use another template. Thanks. – Jon Jun 07 '12 at 17:13
