Customizing writers' permissions

Hi all!
I have a TXP site designed by me, and I want to give a third person the ability to do only very specific actions:

• insert/delete files
• change file categories
• insert/delete images
• change image categories

I don’t want him/her to access articles, styles, forms, etc.

I searched a lot through plugins and documentation but only found that the pre-defined user profiles are the only useable; this could give him/her too much or too few privileges.

Could you suggest me a way to achieve this functionality? Maybe a plugin (I can try to develop one on myself)?

Another similar functionality could be limiting a writer to create articles only for a selected (set of) predefined section(s).

Thanks in advance
Aldo

Did you look at bot_privs?

Els, thank you for the pointer to that plugin, it does almost everything I need!

I didn’t find the plugin during my searches, maybe I have to refine the way I search…

Thanks again.
