Question about Object States

Considering a use role "editor", that can read/create/modify/delete all the content under the root folder (gracefully to the section attribute). Root folder contains 2 folders, let's say : -Root --- News - Assigned section : "news" --- Products - Assigned section : "products" For the container "products", I would like to restrict access for the user role just for this container. The editor could read/create/modify/delete products item children, but I don't want him to modify the "products" container. Should object states help me to do this ? I was thinking that the "ez_lock" default state would allow me to do this, but I can't even assign this state to an object. Is that as expected ? Thanks for your help :)

You could either: - use a 3rd section, assigned to the products node and not its children, eg. "products-folder", and give user the permission to edit content in section products but not products-folder - limit the editing permission for users on the products section with a depth > 1 rule Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board

But I though that the use of a section on a folder will automaticaly assign these section to its children. How can I tell eZ to not do that ? I mean, just assign a section to a parent folder like you said ? Furthermore, how the third section will be automatically assigned to the children ? Thanks for your help
