    Hi, I'm currently investigating using the RadEditor for a project at work, and I am trying to figure out if it is possible to set up the editor so that the current author (set programmatically from the database) can only edit/delete their own comments.  I have gone through google, but the word "comment" appears on just about every page on the internet, so I have not had any luck in figuring out how to do this.

    Thanks,

    Paul Griffin

    Hello Paul,

    Unfortunately there is no such built-in functionality. Still you can work around this limitation by handling the OnClientSelectionChange event of the Editor and always disable the respective tool button. Here is a sample implementation of the event handler:
    function disableComments(editor, args)
    {
        setTimeout(function() {
            editor.get_toolAdapter().getToolByName("RemoveComment").set_enabled(false);
        });
    }

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
