Does Umbraco have a document management function that will allow the users of our site to
upload office documents and other file types into a file library available from the site? If
so, does it supply check out / check in capability (like sourcesafe) and keep track of
versioning based on the check out / check in capability. :hmm:
Any help will be appreciated

Upload - YES - Media Section Check Out/In - No Versioning - No Case

How about adding various levels of user access.
Eg: users in group 1 can read all content on a site. Users in group 2 can read and edit all content on the site. Users in group 3 can see and edit content on one page of the site, but don't even know that there are other pages of content.

This is the idea behind the "User Type" and the "Start node in Content" options in the Users section of umbraco. Administrator - can do anything Editor - can publish content Writer - can save (but not publish) content You can further limit what an Editor or Writer can do by setting the "Start Node in Content", which will limit them to only working on that node and any page below it. This is useful for people who might be limited to the Press Releases section of a site, for instance. Also, you can (and should) limit the sections of umbraco the user can see. For Editors and Writers, I usually only select the "Content" and "Media" modules. cheers, doug.

Is it possible to define your own new User Types?

Alternatively, is there a way to add more than one Start Node in the content for a particular user?

Yes, you can define your own user type. It requires a DB edit at the moment.
No, you can not define multiple start nodes. If you define a custom user type with no permissions, you can then assign permissions to specific node trees.

Neat. Is there somewhere with instructions on how to do this? I'm trying to demo v 3.0.3.
Thanks,
Yos
