Hi Galen,

Thanks for posting in the community!

>From my understanding to this issue, you are going to restrict some
permission for the specified users, who browse to some lists in the Windows
Sharepoint Service(WSS) site. They can only view some list items or can
only add doc to the list. Please correct me if my understanding doesn't
locate your scenario.

In the list of WSS, you will have to assign the view permission to each
user or the users in site group(s) for this list. Without the view
permission, the users can't view the list no matter what permission(except
the "View List Items" permission) you have granted to them. For example, if
you assign the "Add List Items" permission to the users without the view
permission, the users will not view the page.

This is to say, every user who can access the WSS list will at least been
granted the "View List items" permission. Then you can grant other
permisson to the users or site group with other permissons according to
your scenario; such as "Add List Items", "Delete List Items", "Manage
Personal Views" etc. These settings can be set from the link of the
specified List Action "Modify settings and columns"->"Change permissions
for this list".

Furthermore, if you do want to restrict the view of some list items from
some specified users, I'd suggest you can create one aspx page to retrieve
the list item from WSS corresponding to the user credential. Then add one
link in the WSS site so that these users can view these lists. The articles
"Security, Users, and Groups Overview" and "Returning Items from a List" in
WSS SDK will introduce some helpful information for you. The WSS SDK is
available from the link:
Windows SharePoint Services 2003 Software Development Kit (SDK)

a2a0-7d4319980011&DisplayLang=en

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. I am
standing by to be of assistance.

Enjoy a nice weekend!
