MOSS 2007 BDC editor now available

In one of a clients requirements for a Records Management system I needed to only allow certain users to see certain Content Types.

Now, it can be done with EventHandlers in Sharepoint, but wouldn't it be nice to assign user permissions to each Content Type ...

e.g only a project manager can see documents of type "project budget"

Sharepoint 2007 has some good premises for SaaS like software deployment.

One of these would be the permissions the user has to only view/edit and delete the own items in a list. Imagine a HelpDesk or a CRM where a Company only "sees" it's own stuff, and within the company each user his/her own.

How could it be even better?

If it was easier to set item level permissions to isolate and restrict different Sharepoint groups to be able to see only their "items" in a list and each user in the group only his/her own, bar the groups admin seing all of the groups items.

That would make Sharepoint Saas by default.

A (blank) site template in MOSS is not compatible with a (blank) site in WSS.

I hope that in the next SP this is going to be fixed.
