Only owner should be able to edit or delete a List Item

Question

Scenario:

1. User has 'Contribute' rights on a List.
2. User creates a new ListItem on this List.
3. User should only be able to edit or delete his own ListItems.

How can I define that only the Owner (Created By) should be able to edit or delete this ListItem ?

I was thinking about using an xslt if-statement with:

• ddwrt:IfHasRights(...)
• 'Created By' == 'Current User'

Is this correct ? Or are there easier ways to do this ?

See this page for a complete overview from all Rights.

Answer 1

It's very easy.

Note : the only issue is that you are still able to click or delete option in the dropdownlist, but when you do this, you get an 'Access Denied' error from SharePoint.
