Business example: We have a process that many people can access, but only the administrator and the creator can edit it. Other users would like to clone existing documents to save time, but they can only do this for documents they are the author of. Is there any reasonable workaround to let users without edit rights use such an action? P.S. I have to use the SQL option because of position lists in the instance.

Hello, I have a problem that I need to solve and I hope you could help me.
